White-stemmed Acacia Moth (Chelepteryx chalepteryx)Observer
daviakerDescription
This sighting is part of a sequence where an adult female that had been attracted to a window light was placed in a container on 24/5/2020 and produced eggs. Some of which were attached to some Acacia mearnsii that had been placed in the container. (click on one of the tabs to see all of the sightings relevant to this sequence)
The first larvae found emerged from the eggs was on 25/8/2020. As the larvae got bigger, they were separated out into separate containers to avoid overcrowding. It was not until 25/01/2021 that any larva formed a cocoon. Some larvae were slower developing and it wasn’t until 10/04/2021 that all of the specimens finally completed their larval stage. It was only 3 days later (13/4/21) that the first adult moth emerged. Adults continued to emerge until 5/7/2021.

kerrileeharrisDescription
Very small, and different in colour pattern to the various mutillid species I commonly see at this site. When I first noticed him he was fighting to free himself from a spider's web ... which, after much twisting and writhing, he did (photos 2 & 3).

In a scaevola, covered in pollen.
Was hoping to take better shots later on but the weather changed.
@suecee - does this look similar to your recent sighting?
