From memory this insect was about 1.5cm long with enormous antannae that would have been 6-7cm long.

Thanks LivanEscudero, the pictures of the fairy moth do look similar. I'll wait and see if anyone can confirm.
Looks like a moth freshly emerged from its pupa, as the wings don't look fully extended. Some kind of S. African Fairy Moth I suspect, maybe Adela sp. ???
