Casemoth imago (♂)
Clania sp.
-37.8788, 145.252
Field Notes
Description:
A strange little moth about 22mm long. It had totally clear wings which were fluttering continuously. Male.. interesting abdominal appendages? only one good shot before it flew off.
Habitat:
On the stem of a 'weed' 50cm tall asteraceae in a local nature reserve.
Notes:
This is very likely to be Clania lewinii as the cases found abundantly in the area were C lewinii as were the source food types for this species. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/856126002 <br> The only thing that puts me off is the dorsal view revealed a yellow 'V' shape jacket over the thorax. Sorry no photo. <br>
