Ha ha ha, it is very Melbourne! The orange is even clearer on the early one. Of the images on Google there aren't any as good as these but none seem to have orange shoulder spots. hmm.

That's an attractive little moth! Very Melbourne actually with it's slick, black clothes. Interesting about the orange spots.
