Thank you Axel Kallies for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~18mm long, ~35mm wingspan. They have very finely scoloped trailing wings, with the points highlighted in black. A very buff looking moth. Usually they sit with their antennae tucked away under their wings, but we got one with it's antennae protruding. We've photographed 15 males that came to night lights in Nov, Dec & Jan. | |||||
