Excellent. Can you add the adult photo to this sighting? Do you have a photo of the pupa/cocoon? Can you find out the species of the She-oak it was on?
I copied a couple of your wonderful photos into
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/enno/externaria.html
I hope you approve, Don

Thanks Don. I will add an adult photo to this sighting. No, I do not have the cocoon. It was burried in the sand and I did not want to disturb and/or damage it. Should I dig them up to look?

I can show someone the tree but I have no idea how to identify the species of the Casuarina tree.

Any chance of digging the exuvia of this specimen?
Can you photograph the flowers and/or fruit, bark, foliage of that She Oak, and put it on CNM for identification?

I'll try :-)

The She Oak is Casuarina cunninghamiana subsp. cunninghamiana and I've added a photo of the exuvia to sighting 4376746 (the actual moth).
