The first was attracted by the light through the window and fluttered up and down before settling to allow a photo.
It is the Pink Bellied Moth or Hakea Wine Moth Oenochroma vinaria and the caterpillars feed on grevilleas, hakeas and banksias.
The next morning I found this very pretty emerald flat out against the ceiling on the verandah giving me an excellent opportunity for a photo.
Another of the many Geometroidea family this species is Eucyclodes syn Anisozga pieroides the Wattle Bizarre Looper whose caterpillars feed on acacia species, roses, macadamias, and Syzygium leuhmannii .
Beautiful :) Thank you so much for sharing - I find it fascinating to see moths from a different part of the world :)
