Comibaena connata GEOMETRINAE GEOMETRIDAE
This first moth is in the genus Comibaena, and I think the species is connata. It is also possible it is Comibaena mariae. The two are very similar and there are not a lot of reliable photos for positive identification. It appears that more C. mariae have been collected in the Brisbane region but my sample looks closer to C. connata.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHnTQpe1zne1yl8R-bQeISr3h6z6R_4C46Q4BCi4TpklUNCidakg3J1YMzAkwi2zf9avgwEPZy4ucb8t6As7YSNlDdNkATkEYIPV_W4WL6Qbu0_yolcNMkWlGjxfJgNUNrY67VIVe93dc/s200/Comibaena+Poss+connata+GEOMETRINAE+GEOMETRIDAE+-1.jpg)

Comostola laesaria GEOMETRINAE GEOMETRIDAE
This second moths is often seen landing with it's wings raised. It will eventually lower them when completely at rest.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvKri4g4HsE6xOJ3MSAqlYBml1Qd6QvlkwlyDXZurv0PkDoQhOTfNNVnrrCgWX2e90ox_qzKNnjXasNtb3XjWUq071oFGIi0-MdGYmtPzCsLvYW_3mXv7tqCGGShwXcL1t2HZ9JFyxkeM/s200/Comostola+laesaria+GEOMETRINAE+GEOMETRIDAE+-2.jpg)
