Night 3 of 3 Fiordland mothing with @Carey-Knox-Southern-Scales. Remote alpine valley at about 1000m, above an alpine lake surrounded by shrubland, below scree, rockfields and rock walls.

Probably, but a bit of an unusual pattern.
Vicinity of Arataki Visitor Centre, Nihotupu, Waitakere Ranges, Auckland. One live adult moth resting by day on the lower surface of a frond of Adiantum sp. (but possibly really associated with another type of fern in the vicinity).
One noted on doorway external window glass.
