Epiphyas postvittana
About 8mm long.
Attracted inside at night by lights this moth landed on the screen of an old CRT type television receiver, making for an interesting background. (This house is surrounded by a huge, eucalyptus based national park.)
Common name also 'LBAM'
A well travelled moth, the species is native to Australia but is now found in New Zealand, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Hawaii, United States of America (principally along the West Coast).
