There are many Emperor Gum Moth caterpillars with some already in cocoons in the Black Range area now. They can be easily found on eucalyptus saplings with new foliage and two to four metres in height.
A photo in your May Moth Month reminded me of this sighting in Wolumla, back in 2012. Oxycanus?
Looks like the Magpie Moth,Senecio Moth
Second photo's a bit blurry, I'm sorry, but it gives the idea.
This moth, which I followed through the forest, had beautiful bronze patches on its hindwings, not visible in these photos. About 40 mm wingtip to wingtip. A guess at species.
Guessing the genus but I don't think this species is the right one. Length 20 mm excluding antennae.
Again, a guess at ID, though I logged one a bit like this previously that was identified as this species. About 20 mm long.
About 1.75 cm. I've seen a few lately, generally alone and on bark mulch near plants. I'm guessing that they're pyralidae.
This is the third photo of some species of large moth (3–5 cm) found on a neighbour's deck this morning. Photos by my neighbour, Christine.
A neighbour sent three photos of what look like three different species of large moths, possibly hawkmoths, some of several that she finds on her deck each morning at present. I'll put each up separately. Obviously attracted by lights at night.
This is the second of three hawkmoth-like animals found on a neighbour's deck this morning. They're all between 3 and 5 cm.
Not absolutely sure of species but I think it's close. About 30 mm long and resting on a window.
Could be an emperor moth larva, Saturniidae. Very colourful and about 9 cm long.
Just one so far, moving quickly from flower to flower.
