Elhamma
Elhamma australasiae
-37.8998, 145.313
Field Notes
Description:
At about 22mm long Elhamma has tented wings at rest; mostly shades of velvety brown but the male has a white flash in a wave shape. This one is a male.
Habitat:
Open grassy woodlands. Feeds on poaceae.
Notes:
They had a very bad season here from drought. As the life cycle involves a few years as larva I hope they can choose to 'over-winter' and might re-appear next year.
