as I get more insects on silver wattle than any other plant I now spend time walking around each one looking for insects. This moth flew up out of the grass and onto a leaf for a photo. Soooo pretty!

its amazing how much this pattern and colour looked like Amphiprion latezonatus or polymnus - both clownfishes!
