Looks good for Psilalcis isombra, a rather poor image on my part

Quite a bit worn, but fine detail seems to match

Appears quite close to Zermizinga sinuata (male), but I;m not sure its that species.

Hi @donhe
I'm not sure what kind of tree it fell from as it was on the windscreen of the car, but it's probably from the trees growing at the Tura Headland walking trail.
There is no chance of me rearing one of these as I saw this 6 years ago and I have no knowledge what it was let alone of how to rear it. I would not take an unknown creature from the wild.
