#3097 - Capusa sp. - Wedge-Moth
Probably Capusa cuculloides, the White-winged Wedge-moth (previously known as: Teinocladia cuculloides). Large, plump, distinctively coloured and marked Geometrid caterpillars, with six species all endemic to Australia. The diet is quite broad, across diverse families, and they pupate underground.
The adult moths crease and fold their wings along the body when at rest - unusual for Geometrids.
