Idiodes apicata
A peach coloured moth with a wing span about 35 mm. Each fore wing appeared to have a small dark patch, about halfway near the costal margin. The apex of fore wings were slightly hooked. Hind wings were slightly paler and had diffuse wavy lines. A thin pale yellow line ran through all four wings. Thorax was clothed with dense hairs. Antennae were held under the wings.
Spotted in an area with mixed native trees.
My thanks to Peter Marriott for the ID. The caterpillar of these moths lives on Bracken (Pteridium esculentum) family: Geometridae Subfamily: Ennominae http://www.morwellnp.pangaean.net/cgi-bi...
