In recent years there have been some postings about
Apina callisto a day-flying moth. Usually observations have featured
their caterpillars which are dark and are busy foraging in mid-winter. However
the moths are now active in grassy areas especially when it's sunny. Googling
the name will show images of the moth and the caterpillar. One site stated "Pest
species" and another that they could be agricultural pests. In view of what
we've done to their originally-widespread habitats in southern
Australian grasslands that's possibly a bit rich!
