Attracted to UV light at night. I have Elderberry Panax (Polyscias sambucifolia) planted in my garden.

Male Cryptoptila australana and immersana are hard to tell apart, and both have been recorded in the ACT. Given this one was recorded at the same place and about the same time as the distinctive female C. immersana 4233762, I suspect it is the male of C. immersana.
