A new species for NaturMapr and NatureMapr's South Coast region. The protruding hindwing seems characteristic of this species.

The pair of hair pencils behind the head suggest either Arctiinae or Lymantriinae. The absence of dorsal organs on the penultimate two segments appears to rule out Lymantriidae, but Nyctemera species usually feed on Asteraceae, not Mimosaceae. Bit of a puzzle.

@KylieWaldon : hope you can rear it to an adult moth to determine its species.

We cannot see the trailing edge of the forewing (which needs to show 5 reddish spots along the margin for C. pulcheliiodes), although C. pulchelloides is more likely in southern Australia than C. lotrix.
