At first glance the small insect may resemble a moth but it is actually from the Hemiptera: Ricaniidae. Resembles Ricanula stigmatica.
Large semi-urban yard/garden adjacent to a disturbed patch of remnant forest.
The last photo is a different individual but photo was taken at same site during same session.
