User's notes

Took a while to convince myself this was a moth rather than just a bit of dried leaf until I flushed it out from the shadows and onto a sunlit leaf for its photo!

Thanks guys. Ian, Despite its appearance (and hence name), this appears to be an Oecophorine moth (ref ALA, Bowerbird, Butterfly House etc) rather than "a Tortricid moth" indicated by the common name provided in CBN.

I've moved the species to its correct category, the Oecophoridae
