The Australian: Mystery moths swarm in :
"Dennis Hopkins, an entomologist with the SA Research and Development Institute, said the moths were believed to be a species known as lesser budworm.
The moths have a wingspan up to 4cm, a reddish-brown wing pattern and distinctive forewing markings."
I didn't have thiose moths last night. We were invaded by heaps of whitish moths about a centremetre and a half long and rather well fed looking. Heaps of them under the pergola. I was going to get a photo but it started pouring with rain and that was that, but they hung about the window all night. They weren't there today. I have never seen moths in such great numbers. We get ghost moths sometimes and a few wee ones, but not these whitish ones. They were "swarming" or whatever moths do and were quite clear about hanging out together and then the storm came in. We have had stick insects too and I haven't seen those in years.
