I found a moth resting out of the wet weather on our verandah blind and the morning light was shining through the wings and highlighting the underwing pattern and colours.
The definite pattern and colour I thought would be best for identification, as the upper wing colour and pattern is less distinctive, as I found when I moved the moth onto a wooden table.
The colour of course is much stronger when viewed directly, as shown when I was moving the moth.
It is a female Red-lined Geometrid Crypsiphora ocultaria which is found over most of Australia and the caterpillars feed on Eucalyptus species.
