Specimen collected by @dianadavey on 8/7/24 from Wooli, NSW, and sent to me to rear (same specimen as appears in https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/227899469). I received it on 15/7/24 and the adult moth eclosed today sometime between 2:30-3:10pm. Looks like it’s probably in the Lepidoscia genus, but I’m struggling to identify it. It’s in a glass specimen tube, which made taking photos a bit tricky.

@ethanbeaver - Are you able to identify this one?

Early stage nest first observed in cupboard in outside laundry on 3 January 2023; then in subsequent images on 11 Jan, 19 Jan, 1 Feb and 21 Feb. Final three images taken on 23 April 2023 after wasps were poisoned and the nest removed: external detail, internal detail in cross section and entire nest.
