looks similar to the one I saw at Yackandandah. Maybe it is supposed to look like this and isn't weather affected.

What is the sighting number of the one you saw in Yackandandah?
This could perhaps be Philobota hydara or P. philostaura ?

Athetis tenuis (Plain Tenuis Moth) comparing the two maybe they are different species. Its just odd that within a week or so I've got another similar coloured moth. Haven't seen any real pretty ones yet.

PS as I say that I should mention that there is still an old lady moth in my garage, but every time it appears I don't have my camera out!
