wow. TYVM wendy. I've often wondered what those were. I've never seen the adult moths then. I will keep my eyes more peeled.

Hi Kylie, Cebysa leucotelus is one to watch out for. They are very colourful little moths. The female, like all?/many? in this group is flightless, but unlike others that stay in their bag when they pupate, she gets out and walks about. see Cebysa leucotelus
the male is brown&yellow female blue& orange
the male is brown&yellow female blue& orange
