Calendar of events
Golden Sun Moth (Vulnerable).
November is the peak month for sightings of the Golden Sun Moth which has a flight period of only a few days. The Golden Sun Moth occurs in native grassland habitat and is most active on sunny, still, warm-hot days (mostly mid - November to mid - December). After mating the female lays eggs and the adult moths die.
See more information about what some of our threatened species are doing in the November Bio-calendar.
