Thank you Maniacval. That is the one,. I will change it now
I heard the Bogong were on the move. This one is the only really pretty one in the last group of uploads I think. Hope I can find what she is
This is a lovely one - we've have tons of cutworms and Bogong moths but this one hasn't visited us yet !
