Pollanisus sp.
Beautiful small 1.5cm moths ..when the light catches them they shimmer the most intense blue/green ...almost metallic turquoise.
Feeding on Burchardia umbellata (native "lily"-like plant, often called "milkmaids"). , but the reserve is mostly dry pine and eucalypt tree, with small bushes on the ground with alot of dry cut down logs.

The last photo is nicely composed; metallic insects are often lovely as the shimmer in sunlight
