Thanks to everyone who replied, identifying it  as probably a Mustard Ghost Moth.

On today's COG walk at Honeysuckle Creek we came across this large moth, which had an injured wing and could no longer fly properly. It had some striking purple colouring. There were no moth experts in the group to identify it. Does anyone know what it is?
