A new one for home, Eutrichopidia latinus, or Yellow-banded Day Moth. It fluttered around for quite some time before landing on the brick wall, unfortunately it was rather worn and had lost most of the yellow colouring from the fore-wing bands.

A perfect night, calm and mild, but moths and other insect life were very quiet, however there was plenty of interest in the garden moths that did arrive. Most images will enlarge.
Entometer fervens, female.
Pholodes sinistraria, male.
Aglaopus pyrrhata.
Pinara divisa complex, female.
Females rarely come to the light, and males almost never do, probably being day fliers, but occasionally fortune smiles, and in 2012 a male decided to check out the light.
Pleasingly another Syneora hemeropa female came in.
Nacoleia rhoeoalis, the larvae recycle leaf litter.
A Bogong moth, Agrotis infusa, good to see.
And a nicely marked Anestia ombrophanes.
