Moths of Victoria Volume Seven notes that there has been just one Victorian record of Syneora hemeropa since 1931, so the arrival of two from the garden to the light was a significant occasion. One, a female was photographed, but unfortunately the other flitted while being gently coaxed to a better position on the brick wall. The light was fired up again the next night in the hope of seeing more of this rare species, and at a similar time to the others, just before 9 PM, a male settled on the sheet.
