  • Rain moth ♂ (Abantiades labyrinthicus) A beautiful uniquely Australian moth with a wingspan of about 100mm. 
Intriguing maze-like patterns around the wing margins although the species seems to show all sorts of variations possible with both the larger white patterns inside and the the labyrinthine pattern as well. . Mostly cream, pale pink, dark chocolate brown.
Found under night security lights next to a national park.
This moth is very similar in appearance to Trictena atripalpis but Trictena males have tri-pectinate antennae and the flight times don't match. Trictena April to June, Abantiades December to March.
