Gaelyn's visit - Part 6 Final

We found this against a wall by the Dinosaur Park. At first I though it was of our monarch butterfly but it is not. A most interesting pupa anyway.

A Tussock moth (Lymantriidae)
Oblique Peacock Moth (Chaismia simplicilinea) is of medium size and feed on Wattle.
I am not 100% on this one but think it is a Grammodes stolida.
This cat is very interesting in that the white stripe glows and is very visable in the dark.
The pupa of an Acraea butterfly.
