My neighbour 4 houses away was spreading glyphosate on his nature strip. I showed him the photo of the moth. I suspect an ongoing conversation will happen. First up I will send the photo to his phone.

Thanks Rob - Near your sighting from last year - hopefully you can convince your neighbours that it is very impressive that their nature strips are golden sun moth gardens, rather than the drab expanses of exotic grasses that the rest of us have. I wish I had an endangered species in my garden particularity one that flashes a golden sun.
