Moth Photography #3.

With the street trees being Silky Oaks, Grevillea robusta, and grevilleas and hakeas in the garden,  it is little wonder that the  Hakea Wine Moth Oenochroma vinaria has been a common moth.

Several species of genus Ectropis live in the garden, this is Ectropis fractaria.

Dissomorphia australiaria is quite variable in appearance this is an extreme example.

Fisera is a genus with several members undescribed, this is Fisera bellidearia.

In MOV Volume four, Chlorocoma vertumnaria is shown occurring in a broad swathe north and west of Melbourne. In 2008 and 2010 several moths with the same characteristics came in from the garden.

MOV 7 has four species of Cleora, sp. 1 2 3 & 4, species 2 is local, this is a patched individual.

And a Vine hawk Moth, Hippotion celerio.
