Thanks for the explanation. Another feature mentioned is the pectinations on antennae. Above has ones like shown on same page for U. puchelloides.

There is a page: 'Utetheisa - Separating species' 1/1 accompanying Moths of Victoria, Part 2, second Edn, which illustrates the diffferences: Quoting (in part fromthe notes): "U. lotrix often lacks red spot in thr position indicate below (ie. a 5th red spot is circled on the outer trailing edge of the forewing in the image, both for males and females) while U. pulchelloides usually has it". The LBH notes acknowledge that the fifth red spot is not always clealry present, so there is always room for some interpretation. On balance I suggest there is some doubt this is U. puchelloides in this instance.

unfortunately that was the only shot I got. They hid in their hole. Didn't like the torch? There are lots of Camponotus consobrinus here. The only other possible C. sp. I have is Sighting 4585750. I will keep a look out. I think I took the shot because they looked different to C. consobrinus, lacked the honey band.

Hi Wendy, do you have any more info on this ant or photos? Due to the angle the band for C.consobrinus is not visable and would be seen as a C.nigriceps.
