 Destolmia lineata

Destolmia lineata PYGAERINAE NOTODONTIDAE

Was:- Destolmia lineata NOTODONTINAE NOTODONTIDAE

Looking at the various photographs of specimens of this moth I find there is a large range of wing paterns.
The larval food plant is Eucalyptus trees and they pupate under ground.
Many of the adult moths have a black longitudinal band along the fore wing, although the ones we get here are mostly like those in the included photos.
