User's notes

Moth (maybe Deceased) found on window sill of North east facing house deck. Looked initially like a Bogong Moth but markings may be a cedar moth. may have been female with eggs laid behind it? The specimen had disappeared the next day, as we had been sweeping the deck area. Not sure if it may have actually been alive.
