Tobacco looper moth (Chrysodeixis argentifera)

Approximately 24mm long; a complex mixture of patches and patterns including purple shades, gold, cream, grey, brown; distinctive weird tufts give a strange shape to this moth at rest. These also often seem to be shedding scales which appear like dust all around.
Attracted to bright lights at a local used car yard.
This moth feeds on Solanaceae and is regarded as a serious pest by many agricultural sectors.
