#334 - Cabbage Centre Moth

Hellula hydralis, another pest. Oddly enough, it's an Australian native, despite its diet of various brassicas, including, of course, cabbages. What did it eat before? I don't know, and it's entirely possible we never will - the lifestyles of moths are very, very poorly known. We have no idea what many species eat when young.
