A new species for NatureMapr's South Coast region. The identication to species is somewhat tentative given the incomplete specimen, A close-up look at the colour and shape of a similar specimen would allow Moths of Victoria's visual key to be used to help identification.

Thank you. I've added a couple of photos - will they help with ID at all?

We really need the head and antennae in sharp focus.

Ah well - a problem, as I left that portion of the moth as property of the spider
