Geometrid Moth

Acodia sp.

Description:

This attractive moth had a wing span of 20 mm. The white line running through the middle of the wings and the blue spots on the forewings were striking features. A smudged blue line ran towards the blue spot from the apex. The costal margins were slightly bowed at the apices. Pic 2 was taken with a flash.

Habitat:

Spotted in a nature reserve

Notes:

My thanks to Peter Marriott for the ID. This moth does not have a species ID as yet. He has confirmed it here http://www.bowerbird.org.au/observations... I am not able to provide any information on this species except that it is from: Family: Geometridae Subfamily: Larentiinae
