It looks like this is a sexually dimorphic moth. The above moth is a female, I believe, with plain antennae. Male moths have short pectinations on their antennae and a dark brown band across their forewing and hindwing from the apex of the forewing across to about the centre of the inner margin. The thickness of this band varies in different individuals.
