User's notes
On the Bluett's Block nocturnal survey, Zohara identified this as a wood moth as it hit one of the many orb weaver webs and crashed to the ground. Initially we thought it may have been a bat as it was so large. It was quite dark and the grasses fairly thick, so I had trouble taking photos of it.
