Australian fallen bark looper
The fallen bark looper, whose subtle beauty is just wonderful to my eyes.
The only moth in the genus Gastrophora, G. henricaria is native to this country, in the south-eastern areas. Within family Geometridae.
I believe this is a female.
Larvae feed on eucalyptus species and brush box tree, all within Myrtaceae.
Wingspan around 60 mm.
