Looks terribly spotty for E. australasiae. Maybe F. polyspila?

donhe (and other moderators). There are two entries for E. australie in the taxonomy. I think we should progressively shift fromm this category to 'Elhamma australie Swift and Ghost Ghost moth (Hepialidae) beciause this category has the most sightings in it.
