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.
