User's notes
A pale fawn moth, small and generally cylindrical in shape, and overall slightly hairy. Brown and fawn striped legs, and a long and thickly haired upper torso, though not the head (photos 3 & 4). Mottling of dark brown, cream and light tan markings on the wings, (photos 1, 2 & 3). Looks like it would blend in with light-coloured tree bark.
