A chance sighting of this little bag moth larva eating specks of green lichen on a brick wall. Just ten millimetres long it worked its way around the wall all day feeding.

The adult moths are very beautiful, this male was photographed on a window.

The female’s wings are abbreviated, she cannot fly and has to walk everywhere, this one was photographed wandering on the forest floor.

From the same night as the previous post, a very dark male Crimson Tiger Moth,
Spilosoma curvata, (Arctiinae)

Three shots of Dysbatus MOV sp. (1) (Nacophorini) showing variation in markings.

With friends….

Two Picture-winged Leaf Moths, Aglaopus pyrrhata also showing variation.

One of the many Hypobapta diffundens (Geometrinae) to come in, a male.

To conclude, a Mecynata Moth, Chrysolentia mecynata, (Larentiinae)
