Now pupated - in soil, and waiting for emergence.

Possibly a male, but the lack of fine focus makes it difficult to be sure.

good, it is a moth I don't know. There were 2 other sp that look similar. This sp matched best and it is a sub alpine/alpine species
Chrysolarentia chrysocyma

Sub alpine. Snow gums and shrub layer (generally daviesia/oxylobium/bossiaea/wooly grevillea in that area but I didn't notice what was immediately around these, and everlastings/podolepis in the more open areas.
