User's notes
The images show two of five such moths that were sighted deep within a mass of large bushes. They varied in colour between the orange and yellow hues seen in these images. They were very wary and difficult to approach closely. Once disturbed they flew deeper into the bushes and always ended up hanging upside down as seen in these images. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting.
