Terrific.
Did you get a photo of the caterpillar?
I have put a copy of your pupal photo into
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/lima/pinguis.html
I hope that is OK?
What was the pupa attached to (I guessed a twig) ?

@donhe it was attached to a eucalyptus trunk in a crevice, so I had to remove it from the tree. I don't have the caterpillar but I have more pics of the moth and the cup - I'll email the hi-res ones to you. It unfortunately was in an odd position when its wings dried so one is bent.
