as a am not from Canberra. I am intrigued by all the sightings from the National Carillon? Are you all into bells or is it a well lit public place that attracts moths but does not have security (like Parliament House) and is not a public toilet/ATM etc (like I've been known to photograph interesting moths - but where cameras are not encouraged)

Hi @WendyEM I can't speak for the rest of the population, but personally, I can take or leave the bells. The Carillon is lit up overnight and attracts various insects. There are security checks throughout the night but not permanent on-site staff, hence it's possible to photograph the bugs.
