Thank you Prof Victor W Fazio III† for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Female ~45mm wingspan, ~16mm long. Females & males both have filiform antennae, so have to determine gender from body shape. Found this BEHIND the bottom of the night sheet. It's nose and a tiny bit of it's front wings (costa) was showing. Almost didn't see it! How lucky was that! | |||||
