A photo of a pinkish brown moth with a backward curved abdomen and splayed out wings. It's an odd pose for a moth. This is the Australian Wattle Gall Moth, Gauna aegusalis. For my full-res photo and details, see https://inaturalist.nz/observations/324798785

Collage showing insects attracted to light and automatically imaged 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours after sunset in Aranda, ACT, Australia on the night of 2 to 3 Nov 2025. The image includes four smaller images collected around the listed times. Each image shows a section of sheet with a variable number of insects attracted to UV and visible light. Number and variety depends on time of year and conditions during the given night. The image is also labeled with basic details of the associated weather and moon phase.

A 2.5cm arrowhead shaped moth on a finger. It is a striking mosaic of sage green and black. It has two wiry antennae pointing left and right. It's wings are slightly blurred in the bottom corners as it is vibrating to warm up in preparation for takeoff.

Side on shot of a 4-5mm moth about the size of a grain of cooked rice. It faces left. It is three times as long as it is high and it holds its wings tight against its abdomen in a tented position making it look almost tubular. Its scales are a distinct marble pattern of blue, gold and rust in a very metallic sheen, each blotch edged in white. It has a small dark tuft sticking up just behind its head and an antennae which it holds close to its flank.
