Yes, probably. There are a whole suite of Australian daytime flower visiting moths which would justify an ecological study on their own. Many seem to be poorly known and therefore difficult to identify. Many Scythrididae family moths (a Gelechioid family) seem to have a similar black and white colour scheme, but I couldn;t find a match.
