Little guy grabbed onto my shirt, mum stared at me like I was insane for letting him hang out on me until I got my camera and took some pictures 💛

#519 - Australian Small Engrailed / Twig Looper

Seems to be Ectropis excursaria. And very similar to Ectropis crepuscularia, the Small Engrailed a European and North American species. In fact, I IDed as that species first, despite being at the wrong end of the planet.

Both have a very diverse diet, and I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if they turn out to the same species in future.
