Favoured footman

Termessa gratiosa

Description:

Approximately 20mm long; appeared more yellow with black to the naked eye but white and black with flash.

Habitat:

Resting on a dianella blade under strong night lights at the local school.

Notes:

"Can be distinguished from the similar T. diplographa by the white ground colour in the forewings and from T. zonophanes by the absence of black scaling near the tip of the abdomen." - http://australianmuseum.net.au/Termessa-... http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au...
