Scopula rubraria
About 24mm wide this little geometrid moth landed on a huge pile of woodchips and almost disappeared as it was a good color match.
Open eucalyptus forest to clear grasslands.
There is almost no arthropod life to be found at the moment due to drought and the season. This was the only creature seen on a 5km walk. A previous 'reddish wave' geometeridae (Scopula rubraria) was found about 5 weeks ago but this one certainly has stronger patterns and colours plus much clearer picture. Male - the female has different pattern.
