Crambid Moth (Anemosa exanthes)
A very attractive crambid moth with a wing span of about 30 mm. Wings were a varying shade of brown and orange with bright orange patches at the apices. The thin pale line along the costa also stood-out. Wings were tented and feathery antennae swept back. Labial palps were brush-like forming a 'snout'.
Spotted under bright lights near a national park on a warm evening.
