Excellent photos of a stunning lep. I am a bit confused by this. Yes it does rather look like Dysphania numana but there are some problems. None I have seen online have the dark blue head and shoulders, they are all fluffy yellow or orange. Even dead or battered specimens. Also they have a row of yellow spots adjacent to the termen on the underside of the hindwings but none seem to have the other large yellow patch on the underside of hindwing. e.g.

Puzzling
This is a pair in cop so the big yellow patch is not a gender thing https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/239073783

Hey Mate, any chance you could correct the location? Otherwise I will have to flag the sighting as inconclusive. @AaronClausen and @Choyster definitely a glitch worth knowing about if you were not already aware.

shame about the BOLD specimens ! There is some funniness about the antennae on quite a few of them on iNat e.g.
