Idalus crinis
Another moth, for moth week. I said they didn't like me and don't let me photograph them - but this one was actually highly cooperative with the photoshoot.
I didn't see the "clown face" until you mentioned it Jellis - I've added another photo (#4) that shows the face a bit better - though upside down
I agree looking at the moths on the site and the list on the left it narrows down to Idalus crinis
That is funny. I have been looking all week and finally found two teeny tiny ones who would cooperate for their photoshoot. I'm off to look for more.
Thanks bayucca - the Flickr photo does look like the same one...
What do you think of this one: Idalus crinis

Arctiidae, Idalus sp., closer is probably not possible without the native specimen. This might be the same one, I tried hours of getting closer than genus...
