Majority of moths drawn to 5 UV lights or a LepiLED light (6 lights total) in various spots around the forest and shrubland margins. Also, quite a few caught in Shaun's Heath moth trap overnight. Two nights of mothing. The first was cloudy and mild with light rain. The second was mild with a clear sky. The rainy night was the better of the two nights easily!

This year I've noticed that some of the nuts from one of our three macadamia trees have had tiny holes in them. We cracked one open this morning and discovered this wee grub. Could it be Cryptophlebia ombrodelta? I'm hoping not but given that we've never seen this damage before...

(The squishy bit on the side of the larvae is where I think I stabbed it with a pin, while extricating it from the nut.)

ID confirmed by molecular and morphological work carried out by MPI, which has also confirmed the plant the specimens were found on as bay laurel (Laurus nobilis)

images taken at various points along the same hedge bordering the cemetery along Vickery St, from 5:46pm-6:09pm

they all come from the cemetery side of the hedge
