Hi Guys,
found an ID for the plume moth, Alucita phricodes. Thanks for posting the picture. Last night had this visitor come into the house, a lacewing that mimics a moth, Psychopsis mimica. Hope you like it.

Wow Trevor,
That is one awesome looking Lacewing. I am linking to another image of Psychopsis mimica, but there is no information on this unusual Lacewing on the page.

    Is it possible that this type of moth could be in South Australia? We have one in the house here which is very similar to your photo.
