[Great night of spring mothing on the Maniototo. About 45-50 species seen in total. A lot of species that I had not seen since last spring turned up e.g. Meterana exquisita (7!), Orophora unicolor, and Ichneutica paracausta. First Physeticas and porinas for this spring. Also another location recorded for Theoxena scissaria]
Another batch (of 20 moths) from a recent night at Falls Dam. More to come from this night.
