More Hepialidae
This is the last of the Hepialidae moths for the time being. Despite the difficulties with identification they are a spectacular moth and a frequent visitor here.I think all these moths belong to the genus Oxycanus.
EDIT August 2018:- After receiving considerable help from Ethan from the SA Museum, I now believe that all these moths are indeed Oxycanus beltista.
