geometer moth
Parepisparis lutosaria - sighted on our April lightsheet. Its larvae feed on Eucalyptus. Moths in the genus often lie with their abdomens twisted to the side, resembling dead or yellowing leaves.
Pink-bellied Moth
Oenochroma vinaria - a striking caterpillar, larva of an equally attractive moth, seen here on one of our window screens in November. The larva is seen feeding on Hakea macraeana, which will support its development through to the spring, when it will transform into the adult moth.
