All good, @donhe - I'm honoured. Also - this looks to be a new species for NatureMapr? When I looked it up on Atlas of Living Australia, there weren't many sightings of this moth, and this was the furthest south it had been recorded - is that correct, or are there other data bases that are more complete?

Hi @ibaird - I've messaged you . . . I have a feeling my messages aren't getting through (not just to you)?
