Thank you for pointing that out, Ashish!:)
Veronica I want to suggest an General ID... Names are given by their host plants and their behavior... I know I shown different Moth from same genus find in Australia.
It may be a close relative of lichen moths, Ashish. The wing marks are different.
Can it be a Lichen Moth ?

Thanks, again, J, I wasn't able to note that.:)
Asura sp. for sure, as mentioned by bayucca, though I can't find a species.
Thank you, J, Karen and Jolly. Any idea what this is?
Nice spotting Veronica
What a beauty!
Awesome!
Thank you, bayucca.

I checked for Asura lydia, didn't match.
