ZIGZAG WHITE-BANDED NOCTUIDDonuca lanipes ©Peter Chew From the site: This is one of the most beautiful moth we’d ever seen, and we’ve only seen it once. It is in the Owl Moth Family. The moth is dark brown in colour with shiny blue green. There are the eyespot marks on both forewings. There is the board white strip across the forewings and hind wings. There are the zigzag patterns along the wing bases.  In Jan 2008, we saw this large spectacular moth in Karawatha Forest She-Oak area of Brisbane, Australia. It was resting near the base of a large but dead tree trunk. We only found this moth once. Wingspan 60mm  SourceOther posts: Rothschilda Moth Garden Tiger Moth Sino Korean Owl Moth
