(usual excuse re blurred pictures - a 400mm telephoto lens is not the right instrument!)
A few other identified moths, plus a cracking Citrus Planthopper Colgar peracutum and a Netty Ladybird Harmonia testudinaria amongst a few other insects have kept me going. A walk in the woods today produce a few more native plants, together with a Greenish Grass-dart Ocybadistes walkeri (a skipper butterfly).

146 Twiggy Myrtle (Sannantha similis)
145 Flat Pea (Platylobium formosum)
144 Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala)
143 Lesser Joyweed (Alternanthera denticulata)
142 Wombat Berry (Eustrephus latifolius)
141 Bunchy Sedge (Cyperus polystachyos)
140 Yellow-spot Epicoma Moth (Epicoma protrahens)

It is a 'pyralid', but the family has been split so this will be part of Crambidae.

Great stuff Mark - I know where to come for IDs in future!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am quite the expert in Australasian lepidoptera. [it just reminded me of our commonest species, Udea ferrugalis on jizz]
