Don't you just love the name ! How on earth did it get a name like ? Still I rather like it.
I see a few of these every year but this the first time I have had a good camera and been able to get a reasonable shot of it.
The first thing you notice about this moth is the beautiful blue and black abstract eye and the zigzag lines on its wing .
This moth is found over the southern half of Australia , Norfolk Island , New Zealand and even Macquarie Island .
The Old lady Moth measures 9cm across and feeds on wattles.
