    Default moth cat

    found this guy while digging through the tomentosa plant, sorry about the bad picture, but i notice it weaving a web around itself, think it os in the process of pupating.




    some eggs found on the "turn in the wind" plant, quite certain it isnt a butterflies one, could be a moths, otherwise its some bug..

    The cat in the process of forming a cocoon is some sort of Lymantriid (tussock moth).

    cheers, Roger.
