User's notes
This is the adult moth associated with the caterpillar shown in sighting 4612108. After 2 months in its case it hatched last night. This morning I found it on the ground with a large yellowish clump attached to it's rear. It looks like a clump of eggs (shown in one picture), not sure what happened? The moth looks like T. clandestina to me. It's thorax was fluffy when it hatched, but now has lost some of the fluff. The case had two sticks attached. Caterpillar ate both leaves and flowers of Geraldton Wax.
