Donuca Orbigera

Donuca orbigera is a species of moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found in the northern half of Australia. The wingspan is about 50 mm.  This adult moth has a spectacular pattern, with bold white lines and two large eyespots. Note how the diagonal lines on the wings link up when the moth is at rest to give it a false axis. The moth has a penchant for facing downward when clinging to a vertical surface.
