Hi Wendy, I'm not sure I can easily agree this is C. melanaleuca and not L. comparella.
For example, if we go to iNaturalist page you cite above which iare sightings classified as C. melenaleuca ie.:-
https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations?verifiable=true&taxon_id=701043&place_id=6744&preferred_place_id=6744
to my eye there looks to be a sighting amongst them which to my eye is likely C. comparella ie.
https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/257422504
amongst the majority which are most likely C. melenaleuca eg.
