I agree, best match we can find and a suitable holding place. I am not sure about the palps (above) base seems very textured. Many iNat ones have dark base to the palps, not BOLD. BOLD has only WA specimens. Are east Australian ones on iNat and NM the same species or a very similar one?

Sorry for the delayed reply Patrick.
It’s oats, peanut butter and honey, definitely not intended to attract this guy.

Thanks Vera, there have been a pair of them hanging around and the sound carries a long distance in the quiet of the late nights.

Yes,apparently Eochrois caminias is the best guess, supported by views expressed on iNaturalist (P. Hendry and Victor Fazio); but if correct clearly a variable, and/or perhaps sexually dimorphic speces. (I had looked at E. caminias but wasn't convinced initially).

Hi Lisa. Have you a verified source which identifies a case like this as belonging to the species Ardiosteres moretonella?
