Oak Beauty Moth (Biston strataria)

This species overwinters underground as a pupa, with the adults emerging in early spring. Freshly emerged moths, such as the one in this photo taken last year, are often found resting near the base of trees. Despite its name, it is not restricted to oak trees.

Today's #MothOfTheDay is a new species for my garden. Not rare; just never had one before. Alas, I couldn't get a side shot to show it's ridged, bark-like appearance as it was too skittish and flew promptly. But here is:

TAWNY PINION
Lithophane semibrunnea

Hibernates over winter and reappears March/April.

The larger, furry black-and-white #moth in frames 3 and 4 is a female of the species Oenosandra boisduvalii (Boisduval's Autumn Moth).

It's the type species for the family #Oenosandridae, which is restricted to #Australia and includes only eight described #species.

This is a sexually dimorphic species, with the males mainly a sooty grey but with a surprising dusting of orange scales.
