Avatar Moth that featured on Forest & Birds 100 year anniversary Stamps last year: Hamish and I discovered it here high on Denniston Plateau during a BioBlitz and Robert and I described subsequently: saw about ten flying low of cushion wetlands here on sunny day
Being planted by cafe in new town of Hanley’s Farm near Frankton: I stopped and told them they will grow too tall for Site and hedging them results in ugly border and lots of ongoing work!
Probably this species but little west of Main Divide at Maruia Springs in riverbed at 600m
A few over unmoved grass verge in Springs Junction near Reefton
