Fluffy moth alert!!
I had a gum emperor moth come into my moth light last night at home. It's always a treat to see them close up. Here in Ōtautahi-Chirstchurch, NZ, they are massively larger than the other local moths (and *so* much fluffier).
They were introduced to NZ from Australia and their caterpillars feed on eucalypts.
