A session at home to check on cold weather moths from the garden, and the arrivals were predictable with no surprises, except perhaps for a late and very worn male Batwing Moth. First, two moths from the Chlenias banksiaria group showing variation in colour intensity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A nice Plesanemma fucata, also close to the end of the\u00a0 flight period.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Several Ectopatria horologa came in, not surprising as there is now a lot of the larval food plant Einadia nutans growing on the property. This was a nicely marked individual.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Two small Geometrids that fly throughout the year, Poecilasthena pulchraria and anthodes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Epyaxa subidaria also flies throughout the year, this was a nice specimen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A very fresh male Paralaea porphyrinaria showing off its antennae, click to enlarge.<\/p>\n

Something different now, quite often after returning from working at the reserve or collecting firewood, a stowaway will be discovered in the tray of the ute. Here is the latest, an Anthela acuta larva, snapped as it wandered across the tailgate. Click to enlarge.<\/p>\n
