    Those moths are indeed difficult to identify. This page might help to ID:

    A moth called simply 'The Snout' (Hypena proboscidalis) has the closest matching look of the moths I saw on several sites.

    Found it on this interesting site:

      Thanks so much buddy. I think I came across that site before. Impressive still how you managed to pick the match, moth identification is HARD!
