Some moths only come to me through destiny. I could never find a cheerard moth that fit well and then I accidentally found this girl while looking for someone else....

#2303 - Wiseana cervinata - Pasture Porina
AKA Elhamma cervinata, Hepialus despectus, Porina vexata, and Pielus variolaris.
A Hepialid endemic to New Zealand, where it was first described by Francis Walker in 1865. I'm not sure how many of those scientific names above are the result of him describing the same species more than once. He became notorious for that.
These are both males - females have indistinct markings at best. A common moth in grassy areas around New Zealand, where the caterpillars devour clover and grass, and may have been a pest of kūmara when sweet potato was more intensively grown as a staple crop.
Horopito, North Island Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
