Field Notes

Description:

Not expecting to see moths at this time of year, especially out in the open like this one, I almost trod on it. Imitating a dead leaf it was so convinced of it's strategy it refused to flinch when I touched it. About 45mm across.

Habitat:

In an open area of short grasses within a dry eucalyptus woodland. National park.

Notes:

Very difficult to recognise..... hope I got it right... check BB <br>
Common name might be 'Small Twisted moth' <br>
