Definitely. I lived in Sydney for 10 years but didn't pay much attention to the wildlife then... I wish I had! : )

Thanks! I love this site but mostly just lurk. Moving from Chicago to Sydney has inspired me though--so much more to see here especially in Jan-Feb!

Geometridae, Crypsiphona occultaria, also called Red-lined Geometer Moth. Look at the extraordinary and amazing difference between ventral and dorsal view!!
