stripes did bother me, compared to my other records. 2nd & 3rd moth here https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimens.php?taxid=326729 do show extra fine lines in both white and brown areas, not as much as mine, but on the way. There are examples with these fine stripes on moths here https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations?taxon_id=355135 including 'Research Grade' ones
