Zebra-bodied Snout Moth
Size about 30mm. Large moth. Was found sitting on a gum tree. It shows beautiful colours, a black-white striped body, orange head and collar as well as underwings (that can hardly be seen in the pictures). Most ALA representations show exactly this animal where as Wikipedia and other media (I believe also GBIF) show an animal with greenish upper wings. The wings of this specimen were definitely black or dark brown with creamy-white streaks. I made up the English name myself since I didn't find any.
