@Jennybach What a coincidence. The same species turned up on my back door screen early this morning. Mine is a male while yours looks like a female.

@AlisonMilton. Mine was on my front verandah after dusk last night. I have a large Acacia Mearnsii in my front yard and a smaller one nearby. Based on the common name I wonder if that’s a conducive environment. I’ll keep an eye out for any more. We may be on a roll in Higgins!
