……………………….....…….Moth


I was’t sure if this was a moth or a butterfly so it meant searching the internet for an answer.

It seems this species is endemic to New Zealand and found in all parts of the country. It is one of several moths that is seen flying during the day.

There is a similar species from Australia which is also found in NZ.


I found this one resting under the eaves of our home and photographed it before it took flight.





Thank you for the comments, stars and hearts for yesterday’s grumpy looking song thrush.
