I believe it is a sooty mold. They don't often seem to kill plants of their own accord but can be nasty in combination with other factors. Wondering what you think @Csteele4

Yes, and they can be challenging to identify. Given the forewing patterns vary significantly within and between species, the usual approach is to rely on using antennae structure and colour, using the Moths of Victoria (Part 6) visual key to the Oxycanus (genus). Unfortunatlely Moths of Victoria say the status of O. lyelli is uncertain and needs more work. Using their key the male of Oxycanus dirempta and O. lyelli have a very similar antennae structure, but they differ only in colour: those of O. lyella are a dark brown, whereas O. dirempta are red-brown. I'm not 100% which species we have here, but I think the anetannae are as likely red-brown in colour rather than dark brown. If there is another way to distinguish O. dirempta and O. lyelli on visual grounds in the field, I'm open to suggestions.

Unfortunately, we need more information to verify this sighting. Photos of the underside and stem in future, please. :)
