Description

An adult moth reared from a larva collected from a Senecio minimus plant growing up the access road to Mount Duppa.

I collected the larva on 17 October 2002 (see larva photos in this separate observation on 25 October 2002). The larvae pupated in a white silk cocoon in a fold in the plastic bag prior to 8 November 2002.

This pretty little charcoal grey moth eclosed between 23 and 25 November 2002.
