Epicyrtica leucostigma
This grey moth has a wingspan of about 30mm. The moth looked sooty with a mixture of brown, grey, black and white patterns. Tufts of setae were seen all along the back. In the middle of each forewing was a large swirly white pattern. Legs showed thin banding and eyes were large and dark.
Not much information about this moth. I am looking for more information on this moth. This moth was spotted at a bus shelter surrounded by native trees of various species. Distribution: http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Epicyrtica...
This Noctuid moth was a little damaged. It was missing some scales making the patterns diffuse and therefore, identification very difficult. I am hoping that this is the correct ID and would greatly appreciate confirmation. here is a lovely photo of this Epicyrtica leucostigma http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhobern/320...
