Eyes on this moth

 A couple of days ago I found a moth that was new to me and did some searching to get the identity and I was quite sure that it was in the Anthelidae family which was correct but I punted on the Montane Anthelid. However after posting on the iNaturalist site I was soon corrected that it was in fact the Eye Spot Anthelid Anthela ocellata.

This moth's larvae feed on grasses and it is widespread through Australia.
