Good to see, but I'll just say ermine moths are amateurs at this. Try the Australian #WhistlingMoths (#Noctuidae, #Agaristinae).

And (#sigh) - to forestall the comments that always come when mentioning #Australian #wildlife. Our #biodiversity is not out to kill you. It's much less lethal to humans than honeybees, dogs or cows.

The males patrol what I assume are territories in the local woodland just before dusk, flying in circles or figure-eights perhaps three meters above the ground and making a sound not unlike a cicada.

And I'm intrigued to know whether these #RobberFlies (#Asilidae) have ribbed wings for the same reason.
