Doratifera pinguis
This small pale yellow moth kept performing ridiculous acrobatics.
A type of Limacodidae. About 24mm long.
On a footpath adjacent to a national park. Probably drawn to night lights. Dandenong Ranges NP.
Just had to snap and hope some were clear enough for an ID. Yet to confirm species.... suspecting Doratifera pinguis
Confirmed. Also called 'Pale Cup Moth'
