Alucita phricodes revisited

 This moth was covered in a previous page, (see Alucita phricodes ALUCITIDAE Wednesday, 7 October 2015). These photos are a bit better than the previous ones.
It is a bit earlier than we normally see them. Normal is late October through to about March.

Geometridae, Cleora Moths


The genus Cleora has a number of moths that look very much the same in wing patterns. In some cases, the identification is a "best guess", when compared to a number of other identified images.
The forewings often have a light circle in the middle of the wing towards the forward edge of the wing.
