General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
You can see the colour of this one specimen varies considerably depending on the angle of the flash light. From dark brown to almose white.
We originally thought this was Grapholita sp because of the trailing bars on the wing, but this genus now seems to be restricted to coastal Eastern Seaboard areas.

This species is
