Took up residence for a day in potted bromeliad by the front door.
At first I thought this was an odd native butterfly, but excellent feedback on this site has helped me see that this is a moth, not a butterfly. That's what is so good about this site! I apologise for the quality of the photos I had completely the wrong lens on and only seconds to grab these shots before it fluttered away. Taken at the Otira Viaduct lookout, Arthurs Pass.
