Warrens Hook-tip Moth

Oreta jaspidea

Description:

Wingspan around 4cm. This moth has a curve to it's wings as you can see in the second shot.

Habitat:

Attracted to light at night. This moth hung around in the same spot the next day. By that afternoon, there were, what I believe to be a trail of eggs behind it.
