User's notes
At Crinigan's Hut ruins the moths were very active. I assume they were looking for suitable species on which to feed or lay eggs. The grasses & forbs were short, having been mown. There were some native grass species but obviously not the correct species. There was no Apina callisto presence on other, greener introduced grasses.
