The larger, furry black-and-white #moth in frames 3 and 4 is a female of the species Oenosandra boisduvalii (Boisduval's Autumn Moth).
It's the type species for the family #Oenosandridae, which is restricted to #Australia and includes only eight described #species.
This is a sexually dimorphic species, with the males mainly a sooty grey but with a surprising dusting of orange scales.
