candidate for Miss November, Bronze Beauty...

This moth is quite large, with two large blue spots and a pattern of several (three) prominent parallel zigzag lines. I spotted her in our semi enclosed car port last evening, she was sitting still on the brick wall there. I took her inside the house for one evening/overnight and she laid some eggs, as seen on the photo (click to enlarge). The eggs are greenish and are roundish/ flat (cylindrical). Her scientific name is Dasypodia, common name is "Southern old lady" moth or simply "brown house moth", what a boring name (but at the same time quite a descriptive name...) The caterpillars feed on several (at least) acacia species. Will observe the eggs, and she can go outside, perhaps she will produce even more eggs...
