A small chocolate coloured moth about 10 mm long. Wings were tented nd slightly furry. Each fore wings showed two large white patches and smudged white patterns near the apex. Thorax was a dark brownn. Antennae were feathery.
Spotted under bright lights near a national park.
I have no idea which family this moth belongs to. I have checked Arctidae, Anthelidae, Aganaidae and even Lymantridae but couldn't find a match. Looks a little like Asota australis (Aganaidae ) but they are much bigger moths. Any assistance with an ID would be greatly appreciated.
