Field Notes

Description:

How did all that fit in there !! <br>
Penultimate instar? moults in our garden. Female I suspect.

Habitat:

Suburban garden on jasmine plant.

Notes:

Pic 3 shows the distinctive inner elbow patch indicative of this species. <br> It remained hanging nearby for 24 hours drying out I guess. <br> Very dry conditions. Not much food around. Still watching. <br> https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:d…
