Paropsis pictipennis
The Paropsis genus typically feed on Eucalyptus but this species alone is found on Ti tree. The bright yellow dotted wings gives this species its latin name meaning; 'painted - wings'. They are sometimes very common but I was surprised to easily find three so early in the season.

Thanks Mark.
I found three easily yesterday on tea tree.
I saw many at the end of last season on the edge of the Yarra. Mt. Lofty.
I booked for Saturday 20th at 1 PM outside if sunny :)
Another fine addition to the collection.
