The name Twisted Moth refers to the way the abdomen is often twisted to one side as can be seen in your photo."<br />http://peonyden.blogspot.com.au/2008/03/odds-and-sods-in-kangaloon.html<br />Karma - it just keeps on sharing.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770811009625503641.post-65618305018137284682012-08-17T19:08:37.649+10:002012-08-17T19:08:37.649+10:00That a very pretty, unusual looking moth Ian.

Hope you manage to find out what species your moth is.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.com
