Abantiades hyalinatus
This lovely big moth made an appearance on our February light sheet. This shot shows its eponymously coloured hindwings.

While it was attracted to the lightsheet, this moth also fluttered around in the vegetation nearby. It is one of the largest members of the ghost moth family (Hepidalidae).

We found this next to a large hole, from which we presume the adult emerged from its pupal case. The larvae of this moth probably bore vertical holes in the ground to feed on the roots of eucalypt saplings and pupate in that tunnel.
