Picture of the top of a moth with grey wings marked with dark irregular lines.

Picture of a moth showing the underside of its wings which are pale grey with black submarginal bands, bordered on the inside with red. The forewings each have a large black spot and an orange patch

Crypsiphona ocultaria - Red-lined Looper

One of the most common moths we see, these moths can be found around in parts of Australia. The reason for the moth’s common name becomes apparent when you see the underside of their wings

Another of last night’s visitors in the Perth Hills was this lovely Flecked Wave moth. This moth is endemic to Australia where it can be seen in most states

A beautifully marked Dinophalus sp. hanging out by the moth trap this morning.

This is likely the undescribed species currently known as Dinophalus sp. ANIC12
