Another Dragonfly and Two New Moths

I finally identified another dragonfly I saw at Wybejong and it is a new species record for Riddells Creek. Here is a mating pair of Hemicordulia australiae (Australian Emerald) - our 18th dragonfly species: http://natureshare.org.au/observation/8726/


Thanks to the excellent work on the Moths of the Brisbane Ranges by Cathy Powers I was able to identify these two moths, both new species records for Riddells Creek (taking us to 306 moth species) ...

Phallaria ophiusaria - http://natureshare.org.au/observation/8724/

Not a new species but another beautiful moth is flying at the moment, the Black and White Tiger Moth (Spilosoma glatignyi): http://natureshare.org.au/observation/8727/
