AKA Erosia radiata. A Uraniid moth with a wingspan of 2.5cm, from a genus that roll their wings up when resting. Found over large parts of Australia. I don’t have any info on the diet of this species, but one of the others feeds on the underside of the leaves of Canthium coprosmoides, in the Rubiaceae.
