Thallarcha partita
A small moth with several bands of black-brown and yellow. Fine segmented antennae. Spiky legs. About 15mm long. Left fore-wing looks torn.
Suburban back yard garden.
Best visual and descriptive match for ID is http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au...
Thanks so much bayucca and Manval for suggestions. I found a near perfect visual match on Thallarcha partita. Eutane trimochla has a few too many anomalies including a yellow spot just behind the head.
Arctiidae, Eutane sp., can't tell you for sure which one it is, there are several ones around. Eutane terminalis and Eutane trimochla are the most common ones.
