A final garden session for autumn saw a small number of moths come into the light. Just three Plesanemma fucata arrived, including this nice male displaying his antennae.

An early arrival was a female Trichiocercus sparshalli, (Notodontidae)

One Hepialid came in, Oxycanus australis, a first record.

Epyaxa subidaria, (Larentiinae) may be encountered throughout the year, it will often perch with its wings closed as this male is doing.

Wings spread.

Epyaxa sodaliata is much less common.

A few Noctuids were about including this Dasygaster padockina, (Hadeninae)

Small moths were scarce, one Tortricid was photographed, Acropolitis rudisana.
