just lucky to see this moth on this huge bursaria. It didn't have alot of insects on it.

yes they seem to like small flowers, the trick is to spot such small, yet stunning, moths. Keep a look out for a similar looking one with white markings. If you have any wetland areas, other rarer species may be found there at dawn or so - or later in flowers.
