I don't believe Alligator Weed is a problem in Canberra - although I stand to be corrected. A quick search on that common name did not see it listed in the ACT Weeds Manual. BOLD (Hobern) shows records for Brisbane, LBH says NSW but not the ACT. BOLD Systems 4 was offline when i searched. iNaturalist's AI suggests this is F. tritalis, other options not close IMO.

I think I can see a first black mark where I expect it. The second one faint, part in shadow I think.

I am unsure about the ID of the 3 recent Pyralids could be Faveria tritalis but I can't see the dots and other marks I go by for ID
