Check out this 'Eristalinus hervebazini' I saw out at Middle Point last month! It settled for a while so I was able to get a decent shot

Donuca orbigera
This stunning moth was an exciting new visitor to our Perth Hills moth light last night.
These are usually seen in the far north in WA, so this guy is ~2,000km off course! Wondering if the recent cyclone might be responsible.
