Field Notes

Habitat:

Night lights by a garden in a wooded suburb by the ocean

Notes:

# Euproctis moth march 14
Apparently E.lucifugia has been found as far south as Port Macquarie Macquarie so we have increased its range by a few tens of kilometres rather than the thousand or more first thought. (Thanks Don Herbison-Evans)
