Many thanks, Les.

one to keep tabs on. Could run a sweepstake on which family!!

(my guess would be Notodontidae)

cheers, Roger.

Here are photos of hostplant. Can anyone ID please.

Hi Roger, this is what we have been waiting for. After 3 weeks in the pupal stage, this emerged today.

PS. What is it?

One funky moth - Apsarasa radians (Noctuidae)

It appears there is no previous host record, so definitely worth publishing a short note in a journal on this subject.

cheers, Roger.

Thank you Roger. With regards to hostplant, can you advise how to get it ID'd. Also, which publication would you recommend to publish this info in, and would you be kind enough to vet the article when I've completed it?

Hi Les - please see p.m. for continuation of this discussion.

cheers, Roger.

Four of my 9 Cyclosia papilionaris cocoons have emerged. Three are what I was expecting (First two pics), but the fourth is completely different (last 2 pics). Can you explain this please. Roger?

[hkmoths]

that'd be the male!

cheers, Roger
