| Species: | Metallic Grass Webworm (Hednota eremenopa)| This Photo: | 3 Bars on wing | Other name: | Pasture Webworm | Thank you Leon Crang for confirming the id of this species for us EXTRA - Photo Specific Information: Many moths reflect the flash light on the camera, so we attempt to photograph them without a flash. As you can see it doesn't work very well, but it ensures a record of a more natural colour. Here it also highlights the 3 bars on the the trailing edge of the wing, which often look like 2 as it's rolled into a semi-cylinder hiding the top or bottom bar. General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Wingspan ~20mm
