Outside in the morning to hang some washing on the rotary hoist, looked up to get pegs and there they were, a mating pair of Endoxyla lituratus, (Cossidae) female above, male below.
This shot shows the differences in body between the two sexes.
After photos on the line the two were then taken for more natural shots on foliage, and then in a safer location under a dense shrub from where the female could go out to lay her eggs at night.
