Western Sheep Moth
I wish I could tell you this sighting was from a ton of hard work searching grass. Sadly, no - it was just walking by and this moth was prominent on a stalk of grass.

False Tiger Moth
I have seen these moths on my last few visit - they are large, brightly coloured and active during the day. I had tried taking photos while they were in flight, but they are so active I always failed. This trip I tried harder to find them on plants and had some luck!
Species: Dysphania militaris (False Tiger Moth)
