Moths of Toowoomba

Ectopatria horologa NOCTUINAE NOCTUIDAE

The larvae have been recorded feeding on Rhagodia parabolica which is one of the salt bush plants we have here. It is also likely that the larvae would eat some of the other salt bushes we have in this area.

Family:- NOCTUIDAE
Sub Family:-  NOCTUINAE
Genus:- Ectopatria
Species:- horologa

This one is in pretty poor condition and is probably at the end of its life.

 Elusa semipecten NOCTUINAE NOCTUIDAE

I couldn't find much information on these moths.

Family:- NOCTUIDAE
Sub Family:- NOCTUINAE
Genus:- Elusa

Once again, this second moth is missing rather a lot of scales.
