Here are two stylish NZ moths for your day.
There's the Green & Purple Carpet moth, *Hydriomena purpurifera*: https://inaturalist.nz/observations/339224798
And, there's the Yellow & Brown Carpet moth, *Asaphodes prasinias*: https://inaturalist.nz/observations/339224786
Caterpillars of the Yellow & Brown Carpet moth have been raised eating native buttercups. I'm not sure if anyone knows what caterpillars of the Green & Purple Carpet moth eat.
(I've just uploaded these moths to iNaturalist from some moth lighting in the North Canterbury Southern Alps from last January, as part of my ongoing push to upload my backlog of moth photos.)
