Species that feed on Ficus sp according to Common, Melb. Uni. Press, 1990 - Agape chloropyga see https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/288794222 more pics here https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations?place_id=6744&preferred_place_id=6744&q=larvae&quality_grade=research&taxon_id=360085
a POSSIBLe is Lactura caminaea but I am not convinced.
Lymantria lunifer (an old name - I have not tracked new one down) Most others Common lists are Pyraloidea, Gelechioidea etc

I don't think Agape chloropyga is correctly classified on NM (in Noctuid - tiger moths/Arctiidae) ignoring common name??https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/9d410859-50cf-483b-965f-ca1e774afcf3#classification
