    I believe this is the beautiful Tissue Moth (Triphosa haesitata)? The features match: "FW is variable red brown with darker and lighter wavy bands. HW margin is strongly toothed."

      That looks more like it. I had the feeling there'd be a better match - but I really needed to go to bed last night :) Posted 7 years ago
