there is confusion as to the author of pyrausta aurea : several internet sites give hampson ( 1913 ) as the author ( originally placed in genus pachyzancla ) , apparently based on specimens from mexico , while 3 or 4 sites give butler ( 1875 ) as the author , apparently based on specimens from africa . gbif lists both authors separately , and gives each name the status of

this earlier post listed a few of the insect species found in the area . the present post is a continuation of that one .
a common and widespread mantid , orthodera ministralis is often found ( as its common name suggests ) in suburban gardens . this individual was photographed on the south american potato vine solanum jasminoides .
breeding pairs of the tricolor soldier beetle were commonly seen in late summer and early autumn . other species of soldier beetle , c . lugubris and c . pulchellus , routinely form enormous breeding colonies , and so are often called plague soldier beetles . see the brisbane insects website for more information .
the circulionidae ( true weevils ) is among the largest and most diverse of the insect families . it is often very difficult to identify particular species . this particular individual bears a very strong resemblance to the elephant weevil orthorhinus cylindrirostris and may belong to the same subfamily ( the molytinae ) .
this individual was photographed on a kurrajong ( brachychiton populneus ) , which seems to be a favourite foodsource of a couple of weevil species .
this is another weevil species , this time photographed in a suburban garden . the relatively short , broad rostrum ( snout ) suggests that this individual belongs to the subfamily entiminae ( broad - nosed weevils ) .
this species of leaf beetle ( chrysomelidae ) is common in vegetable gardens , particularly as a pest of cucurbits ( in this case zucchini ) . they can be extremely destructive . this article from the department of primary industries ( now industry & investment and formerly nsw agriculture ) has some information on pests of cucurbits , including this species .
chrysodeixis spp . are quite conspicuous – at least as caterpillars . the adults are not nearly as noticeable . as a leaf - eater with a taste for cultivated vegetables ( this one was photographed on a bean plant ) they can be quite destructive .
the banded ( or purple - banded ) concealer moth belongs to the family oecophoridae ( concealer moths ) , which is particularly well - represented around wagga . several other species are known from the area – some entirely white , some entirely yellow , some yellow with brownish or purplish markings . they are often found clinging to the underside of plant stems and leaves .
these are the nymphs of the two - lined gum treehopper . the adults can be seen at the brisbane insects website . the young are attended by ants ( in this case probably a species of golden - tailed sugar ant camponotus sp . ) who collect from them a sugar secretion called honeydew . the ants essentially ‘farm’ the nymphs .
another species of hopper , also in the family cicadellidae , though belonging to a different subfamily ( tartessinae , not eurymelinae ) . leafhoppers are plant - feeders , using their piercing mouthparts to extract sap from trees . these individuals were seen on a young eucalypt ( possibly the river red gum eucalyptus camaldulensis ) near lake albert .
that’s all for now . in bird - related news , the black - chinned honeyeater ( a vulnerable species ) was recorded at mates gully rd . tsr and has been added to the lists for mates gully and for wagga wagga . also added to the wagga list was the swift parrot , an endangered species , which was recorded ( by call only ) at red hill reserve , near pomingalarna . it is also known to overwinter in mates gully rd . and kyeamba tsrs .
in less encouraging news , the scarlet robin has recently been declared a vulnerable species ( see here ) . its numbers are apparently in decline . in the wagga area it is known from livingstone national park and mates gully rd . tsr .
nest hill nature reserve , formerly pulletop state forest , was gazetted in january 2001 . it is located roughly 35km south of wagga wagga and 25km north of holbrook . it is accessible only via management trails . the management plan can be found here , but is sadly rather light on details .
surveys carried out by the national parks and wildlife service recorded only 20 bird species in the park . the following is a list of more than thirty recorded by me in the space of a single visit ( the discrepancy is hard to explain ) : 1 . australian magpie 2 . australian raven 3 . + australian wood - duck 4 . + black swan 5 . black - faced cuckoo - shrike 6 . brown falcon 7 . brown treecreeper 8 . common bronzewing 9 . crested pigeon 10 . eastern rosella 11 . eastern yellow robin 12 . flame robin 13 . galah 14 . grey fantail 15 . grey shrike - thrush 16 . laughing kookaburra 17 . magpie - lark 18 . + masked lapwing 19 . pied currawong 20 . red wattlebird 21 . red - rumped parrot 22 . restless flycatcher 23 . rufous whistler 24 . striated pardalote 25 . sulphur - crested cockatoo 26 . superb fairy - wren 27 . weebill 28 . welcome swallow 29 . white - plumed honeyeater 30 . white - throated treecreeper 31 . white - winged chough 32 . willie wagtail 33 . yellow thornbill
( those species marked with a + were recorded on a farm dam immediately adjacent to the reserve ) . of particular note is the brown treecreeper , the eastern subspecies of which ( climacteris picumnus victoriae ) is classed as vulnerable . ( though there is some debate as to whether the local subspecies is c . p . victoriae or c . p . picumnus ) . the fantail cuckoo and cockatiel were recorded in the surrounding area in spring .
the reserve is dominated by three vegetation communities : 1 . rough - barked red box ( eucalyptus polyanthemos ) / white box ( e . albens ) 2 . inland scribbly gum ( e . rossii ) / norton’s box ( e . nortonii ) 3 . red stringybark ( e . macrorhyncha ; pictured above ) / inland scribbly gum / rough - barked red box
nest hill nr contains what is probably the largest stand of red box in the wagga area ( it is found in smaller quantities in livingstone np and mates gully rd tsr ) . the presence of red stringybark is also noteworthy for similar reasons .
the understorey is sparse and generally lacking in diversity , owing to extensive grazing prior to the reserve’s gazettal . weeds ( including * sonchus asper , * galium aparine and * trifolium spp . ) are encroaching on the reserve’s boundaries .
among the species recorded were the heaths melichrus urceolatus ( urn heath ; pictured above ) and lissanthe strigosa ( peach heath ) ; the orchids pterostylis sp . aff . parviflora ( tiny greenhood ; see here and here ) and pterostylis falcata ( autumn or sickle greenhood ) ; and the small herbs goodenia hederacea ( ivy goodenia ; pictured below ) , cymbonotus preissianus ( austral bear’s - ear ; pictured below ) , geranium solanderi ( native geranium ) , hydrocotyle laxiflora ( stinking pennywort ) and dauchus glochidiatus ( austral carrot ) .
also recorded were the grasses austrostipa scabra ( rough speargrass ) , microlaena stipoides ( weeping or meadow rice - grass ; uncommon ) and a species of poa ( tussock grass ) . grass trees ( xanthorrhoea sp . ) were also present .
there was also a substantial fungus population , including several large colonies of phylloporus clelandii ( pictured above ) , limacella spp . , pisolithus tinctorius ( horse dropping fungus ) and a small , woolly bracket fungus ( possibly a species of stereum ; pictured below ) .
this information comes from a single visit to the reserve . future visits are likely to yield much more .
livingstone national park has been logged , mined for gold , tin and wolframite , and used as a bombing range . and yet it is almost certainly the best - preserved area of remnant vegetation in the vicinity of wagga . it was finally gazetted ( as livingstone national park and nature reserve ) in 2001 . in 2006 , the southern end ( adjacent to the locality of burrandana ) was declared a state conservation area .
the park is apparently home to 20 or more species of orchid . nine spring - flowering species were documented in this earlier post . plantnet lists four further spring - flowering species ( caladenia dimorpha , c . phaeoclavia , pterostylis mutica and thelymitra ixioides ) in the park . the management plan lists another four species : the greenhoods pterostylis curta and pterostylis longifolia , the ruddyhood pterostylis pusilla and the tiny finger orchid caladenia mentiens . additionally , four species of autumn - flowering orchid are known from the park . these are profiled here .
eriochilus cucullatus is a tiny , delicate and inconspicuous species . each plant may carry up to five flowers , though most have only one or two . it has been recorded from the both the northern and southern sections of the park , and also from murraguldrie flora reserve .
this identification is tentative . genoplesium is a large genus , but g . rufum is the only species listed by plantnet for the nsw south - west slopes bioregion . this species is extremely variable . its colouration runs the gamut from deep purple - black to mostly green with reddish or brownish tips to the lateral sepals ( as in this case ) . some debate exists as to whether genoplesium rufum constitutes a single species or a complex of related varieties . the flowers on this particular specimen have closed for the year .
the pterostylis sp . aff . parviflora complex accounts for almost a dozen species , subspecies or varieties of orchid . the variety found at livingstone ( assuming there is only one ) may be the one referred to in bishop’s 1996 field guide ( currently out of print ) as pterostylis sp . aff . parviflora ( large red - brown ) . complicating this identification is the fact that many plants were found to have seven or eight flowers , whereas bishop claims that pterostylis sp . aff . parviflora ( large red - brown ) only rarely has more than six . another variety it resembles commonly has up to eight flowers , but is known only from the melbourne , victoria area ( designated by bishop as pterostylis sp . aff . parviflora ( eastern melbourne ) ) .
tthe genus speculantha has been proposed to distinguish the tiny greenhoods from the larger species , like the one below .
is not recognised by bishop and does not have an entry in plantnet’s flora of new south wales . nevertheless it is the only autumn - flowering greenhood that comes up in a
this species is extremely common in livingstone national park , often occuring in colonies of up to thirty plants . these colonies are composed of plants at varying stages of maturity . younger and older flowers often take on unusual shapes :

i’ve produced three wallpaper versions ( 1024×768 , 1280×1024 and 1600×1200 ) of the resupinatus cinerascens shot from the previous post , if anybody is interested .
i may do this with other photographs ( flowers , birds , and so on ) if there is any interest .
the rains in december , february and march brought out a large crop of fungi of various kinds , and now , with the temperature dropping and dew beginning to form , there seems to be a constant supply of unusual and interesting fungus species . a few of the more interesting are shown below .
is a tiny fungus – the largest fruiting body being around 1cm in diameter – found on the underside of rotting logs . this particular specimen was found in wallacetown .
is a common but inconspicuous fungus of lawns and gardens . the fruit has an extremely short life , sometimes lasting only a few hours before
contains a number of very similar ‘jelly’ fungi . this specimen was photographed on the side of a rotting log in ganmain state forest .
is larger and more attractive than most of the earth stars found in the area . it seems to occur in colonies in very wet leaf litter .
this particular colony was found in a wet gully on the northern end of livingstone national park .
, one of a group of large , fleshy fungi sometimes referred to as gilled boletes ( true boletes have pores rather than gills on the undersurface of the cap ) . this fungus is , according to bruce fuhrer’s field guide , generally uncommon . this particular specimen was again photographed on the northern end of livingstone national park .
species are very large ( around 20cm , in this case ) and are found in a variety of locations . the specimens seen here were part of a very large colony found in the grounds of the wagga wagga botanic gardens . despite their size the young fruiting bodies grew very close together :
. this particular species – found as it was in a lawn composed of exotic grasses – may not be native to australia .
. this extraordinary species is usually found on herbivore dung – in this case cow . the small ‘seeds’ or ‘eggs’ are called peridioles . these contain the spores and are dispersed by raindrops . this cluster of fruiting bodies was spotted at the kyeamba tsr ( which may recieve a full profile at a later date ) .
i hope soon to add a post on the autumn - flowering orchids recorded in the area . the bird count remains unchanged .
an earlier post ( willans hill in summer , january 5 ) listed a number of insect species found in the wagga area . the present post can be considered a continuation of that one . where possible the insects illustrated have been identified to the level of species , but identification is not always straightforward . of the many resources i have used , the brisbane insects website is probably the most useful ( i take the blame for any incorrect identifications , of course ) .
this is likely to be the first of many posts on the insect fauna of the area .
the tailed emperor is a large and beautiful butterfly in the family nymphalidae . it is probably not a permanent resident here , but vagrants have been known to reach southern victoria and south - eastern south australia . the larva is pictured here on a kurrajong ( brachychiton populneus ) , one of the species’ many larval foodsources , on willans hill . the “horns” are purely for intimidation : the caterpillar is completely harmless .
the larva of the privet hawk moth is a large , robust and strikingly patterned caterpillar that – despite its name – is equally at home on a variety of introduced garden plants . the individual photographed was seen in a suburban garden , apparently feeding on the leaves of the purple trumpet vine ( podranea ricasoliana ) , a south african import . privet ( ligustrum spp . ) is a significant garden escapee . two species , l . sinense and l . vulgare , are declared noxious weeds in nsw .
wasp moths belong to the ctenuchinae , a subfamily of the arctiidae ( tiger moths ) . there are a number of similar amata species , which cannot be easily distinguished . a number of individuals were seen recently in livingstone national park .
the tiger lichen moth is also a member of the arctiidae , this time of the subfamily lithosiinae ( lichen moths ) . once again , several individuals were seen in livingstone .
this stocky , distinctive moth was seen on willans hill and at mundwaddery cemetery . it belongs to the family notodontidae . its face is obscured by a dense mane of fibrous hairs :
the diamond beetle , also known as the botany bay diamond weevil , was the first australian insect to be formally described . it is apparently very common around sydney but is less so here .
most ladybird species are considered to be important control agents of crop and garden pests . the twentyeightspotted ladybird ( also referred to as epilachna 28 - punctata and epilachna cucurbitae ) , on the other hand , is a leaf - eater , and is also highly prolific . the larva is bizarre :
paropsis variolosa resembles a large ladybird . it feeds exclusively on the leaves of eucalyptus species . this individual was photographed on willans hill .
this longicorn ( “long - horned” ) beetle was photographed on a kangaroo thorn ( acacia paradoxa ) shrub in livingstone national park . the precise identity of the beetle is uncertain , but it may be a species of platyomopsis .
the green potato bug is – like the twentyeightspotted ladybird – a common resident of suburban gardens . it feeds on tomatoes , potatoes and other cultivated plants .
i have added the black - faced woodswallow ( artamus cinereus ) to the birdlist for wagga wagga . this brings the total number of species recorded over the past twelve months to 157 , exactly 150 of which are native .
“torrential” screamed the front page of the daily advertiser , following wagga’s wettest march day on record . the lake has filled for the first time in a very long time . this is the lake as of march 11 . by way of contrast , the photograph below shows the lake as it looked on january 21 .
very few shorebirds remain at the lake , of course , as there is no longer a very distinct shoreline . the water will most likely recede before long . — apologies for the lack of posts lately . i have two in the works : one on fungi and one on insects .

diacme adipaloides , the darker diacme moth , is a moth in the crambidae family .

it was described by grote and robinson in 1867 .

it is found in north america , where it has been recorded from alabama , arkansas , florida , indiana , maine , maryland , massachusetts , michigan , minnesota , new brunswick , new hampshire , new jersey , new york , north carolina , nova scotia , ohio , oklahoma , ontario , quebec , south carolina , tennessee , texas , virginia , west virginia and wisconsin .

the wingspan is about 18 mm .

adults resemble diacme elealis , but the forewings are darker and greyish brown with irregular pale orange bands .

the hindwings are paler yellow with a wide brown border .

adults have been recorded year round .

diacme adipaloides

species diacme adipaloides - darker diacme moth - hodges # 5143 - bugguide . net
the presence of a basal line on the hindwing appears to be useful in for separating light examples of d . adipaloides from elealis .
i do call some things d . elealis in sc , but these have a different wing shape , and never have any hint of a basal line on the hw . i call everything with a basal line d . adipaloides .
brian scholtens - reference here
according to brian scholtens and others , the presence of a basal line on the hindwing is diagnostic for the darker diacme . reference despite the common name , some forms of the
darker diacme
can be just as pale as the
paler diacme
, but the presence or absence of the basal line is distinctive .
identification based on this marking seems to be supported by dna evidence at bold . the bin group for elealis , aae7559 , shows no examples with the basal line / loop . all examples show a pale yellow basal area with no dark markings . the bin for adipaloides , aab2577 shows no examples with this mark absent .
resembles paler diacme , but darker fw is grayish brown with irregular pale orange bands . hw is paler yellow with wide brown border .
