A much better looking individual this time, Glenn.

Yes, matches well with John Fearn's image on Lepidoptera Butterfly House (Moruya) and to some of Don Hoberns's images (Aranda) on the ALA.

Was it really facing downwards, or is that just a trick of the camera?

Hi Don - yes it was. I've added the original full-frame photo for better perspective.

Thanks. Interesting that several of the Chrysolarentia species are inclined to do this.
