About 45mm across. Almost dry leaf shaped. Patterns of pale pink, orange, tan. cream.

Habitat:

Attracted to night lights at the local school.

Also called Monoctenia decora; Pink bellied moth; Grevillea looper.
This is a very faded version. Female. It also gave me a clue to the pupae I am finding under our hakea trees.
