A few selections from a couple of recent mothing sessions - despite millions of very annoying small insects, including mosquitoes! :-)
(Click images to enlarge)
No. 1
Identification of this Plume Moth is pending.
UPDATE: This is Stangeia xerodes. (Thank you, Donald.)
PTEROPHORIDAE
No. 2
This is possibly Thrincophora sp. It is similar to a moth I photographed last December that Donald Hobern helped with identification as Thrincophora signigerana.
TORTRICIDAE
No. 3
I suspect this is Placocosma resumptella
OECOPHORIDAE : Oecophorinae
No. 4
Probably Hellula hydralis
CRAMBIDAE : Glaphyriinae
No. 5
A more normal looking Dissomorphia australiaria compared to the pale orange looking example I photographed earlier in the month!
GEOMETRIDAE : Ennominae
No. 6
Maroga melanostigma (Fruit-tree Borer)
OECOPHORIDAE : Xyloryctinae
No. 7
I think this is probably the Case/Bag Moth Lomera boisduvalii
PSYCHIDAE
No. 8 Tanyzancia argutella
OCEOPHORIDAE : Oecophorinae
No. 9
A Noctuid, perhaps?
UPDATE: Probably Dasygaster padockina (thanks MH)
NOCTUIDAE: Hadeninae

Hi JL
I have also had a "borer" type of moth, I believe. Not the same as yours, but obvious similarities. Its on my blog tonight.
You have done well with the names. Unfortunately I have been too busy to ID mine, but I felt I needed to post them while still topical.
Hot and sticky nights really bring out the Moths up here.
Cheers
Denis
Thanks, Denis
My "Borer" is quite a large moth. 2 or 3 came in again last night.
When I have a bit more time, I will "try" to help you with your IDs. Failing that, you know where to go for some pretty accurate advice!! :-)
