User's notes

Collected a number of larvae but didn't realise they were different and only posted the photos of this one. The moth has emerged on 22 April 2022 and I have added photos of the moth. Two days later two other moths emerged and they are of a different species. Will post separately.

The black marks on the head are unusual. I hope you can rear this one to an adult.
