Looks likely to be O. lactella based on the general forewing markings and hint of a orange hindwing, but example sonline are quite variable. I notice that LBH shows the species having a whitish head but most posted online don't seem to show that feature, I see coastal and northern records plus Victoria but none online for the ACT (including Bold Systems 4). Has G, Cocking taken a sample or identified this species?

I have not collected this one for Glenn. I usually end up collecting the ones that are easy to ID and not collecting the ones I should.
