Field Notes

Notes:

I have been under the assumption that this was Elhamma australasiae but it does not appear to be. There are little crops of grass seeds on wet cotton trying to prepare for the hatching of Elhamma australasiae. Anyone know how long they take to hatch and if the other species of Ghost moth eat the same stuff when they are caterpillars?
These will probably be lost. I have not kept them before
