Hi Harley, no not this one. We bagged a few smaller plants that had fluff coming out of the pods. Everything we saw is mapped on Untreated, the area Ranger is also aware.

Yes. there are excellent close-up photos of the antennae. (photos, 1,2 and 3) Looking at the visual key for Oxycanus identification (Moths of Victoria. Part 6). I think these brown antennae with short pectinations with yellowish tips appear to fit the male O. lyelli well. However, the ID is somewhat speculative because there are relatively few records online and apparently no records online for NSW or Canberra or the ACT. The appearance of the moth is similar to photos of the moth species online.
