I think they are around in greater numbers this season - 3 one night here, 4 the next night and then 2.

Hi @DianneClarke were they attracted to light?

This one came to my light but sat nearby in a pot plant when I found it. I have seen them many times at lights in the past but usually in nearby bushes.

Hi @MatthewFrawley Yes they come to lights - they flap around for awhile and then settle on light sheet and they sometimes stay until the sunlight hits them mid-morning

Thank you @DianneClarke and @kasiaaus I will put out my light tonight in Braidwood, NSW and see what shows up.
