Orthaga  PYRALIDAE

Orthaga Possibly thyrisalis EPIPASCHIINAE PYRALIDAE

 The Orthaga moths are difficult to tell apart. I have this one down as O. thyrisalis, and if it is, the larval food plants are likely to be, according to the Butterfly house site:-
 Teatree ( Leptospermum ), in our case a Lemon Scented Teatree
 Paperbarks ( Melaleuca species), we have several of these.
I have not been able to cross reference this information, and there is no mention in Moths of Australia (Common 1990) of  the larval food plant, or in any of my other larval food source references.
