Description

A number of these rather charming moths have turned up again. They are a month earlier than they appeared last year. Quite small for owlet moths, with a fast buzzy flight. Noticeably green, moreso than in the flash photograph. Last year the suspicion was that they are recently hatched M. inchoata, although never confirmed. Meterana praesignis was another possibility.

Several of these moths have been drawn to light over the last few nights. They may well turn out to be freshly eclosed M inchoata - an early suggestion from Brian Patrick.

I think this is another example of the unnamed Meterana associated with nettle. Impressive leg warmers.

Night 1 of 3 mothing in Fiordland National Park with @Carey-Knox-Southern-Scales. Campsite on Milford Road in a clearing next to beech forest. Drawn to light. Very surprised to see this (a second example), several of which appeared. It looks to me very much like the undescribed nettle meterana that I see regularly on the Otago Peninsula. I saw no tree nettle in the area, although I believe it is present in Fiordland.

Drawn to light. Seeing the unnamed Urtica feeder quite regularly now. Some, like this one, are particularly spectacular, perhaps recently eclosed.

Looks exactly like the undescribed Meterana species that feeds on native stinging nettle. The second of two nights up Falls Creek. Edge of shrubland and forest one way and a large wetland in the other direction.
