User's notes

Unsure if this is a butterfly or moth. Captured. Interestingly, have observed it actively eating bursaria flowers

I think the head pattern is different from that at the LBH webpage, and there is no sign of the small dark ellipse on the side of the meta-thorax of David's specimen, but these differences could be instar-dependent.
