Lendi vè

Last week Jim Hayden guessed the moth I posted was an Australian Oecophoridae. It was a good guess because there are so many large and stunning moths in this family from Australia. One of the best has to be this one, Wingia lambertella (Oecophoridae), captured on Black Mountain in Canberra October 23, 1955 (CAS collections). The larvae feed on Eucalyptusand I for one wish this was an introduced species here. We have these pesky invasive trees everywhere, why not the moth to go with?
