Conoeca guildingi (A case moth)

The caterpillars live in a conical case covered with small pieces of chewed bark, very like that of some Lepidoscia species, but different in having a splayed opening.

The adults are grey with a variable pattern of darker and lighter blotches or speckles. The moths are similar in size to Lepidoscia saxosa, which has narrower forewings and is usually plain mottled grey-brown without the darker and lighter blotches or speckles of C. guildingi.

 

Conoeca guildingi is listed in the following regions:

Canberra & Southern Tablelands  |  Southern Highlands  |  New England  |  New South Wales North Coast  |  Greater Melbourne  |  Barwon South West
