User's notes
A small moth, with lighter shades of yellow browns, and at certain angles of light quite lustrous (photos 2 & 4). 3 horizontal areas of colour, light brown towards the head, yellow brown in the mid section and a mix of light tan and light brown in the rear section, each separated from the next by an irregular but symmetrical line of cream, (photos 1 & 2). Photo 5 appears to show some sparse pale spikes on the rear 2 pairs of legs.
