Clara's Satin Moth
An Australian moth with satiny white wings marked with orange bands. Found in eastern Australia and Tasmania. Caterpillars feed on acacia foliage.
Did You Know?
The satiny sheen of the wings gives this moth an almost luminous quality when seen in Australian bush at night.
Green Baron
A forest butterfly with vivid iridescent green upperside in males, while females are brownish with white markings. It has a powerful, gliding flight pattern and rarely opens its wings when settled.
Did You Know?
The brilliant green of the male is produced by microscopic structures in the wing scales rather than by any chemical pigment.
