  1. You requested "Calama australis" for this, but this seems to be a plant. I'm thinking perhaps you had some old value on your clipboard? Posted 2 years ago
    1. Culama australis | Atlas of Living Australia
      Culama australis: Brief Summary. Culama australis is a moth of the family Cossidae. It is found in most of Australia, except Tasmania. The wingspan is 51-56 mm for males and 59-66 mm for females. Adults have grey wings, with dark lines across each forewing. At rest, they wrap their wings around their body.

      The plant is Calamus australis
      Sorry for my initial mistake.
