Pollanisus viridipulverulenta (Satin-green Forester)

Pollanisus species are difficult to separate, especially when only a photo is available. The larger blue-green specimens observed in the ACT are usually P. viridipulverulenta. Smaller specimens with narrower wings are likely to be P. apicalis. Those with a bronze collar are similar to P. subdolosa which is common coastally. The larvae of most Pollanisus species feed on Hibbertia.

Pollanisus viridipulverulenta is listed in the following regions:
