Normally. I would expect NatureMapr would allow me to suugest this is a Significant Sighting, but I cannot that option on this page, yet. I will suggest it as significant if the option appears. OK, it now has.

Fair question. Not really a joke. I think there is a good case that it is! Assuming the identification is correct, all sightings of this species I see online are from Far North Queensland (eg. Cairns district) as seen on The Atlas of Living Australia, iNaturalist and BOLD Systems. This may mean it is unusual for this species to be seen so far south in NSW, albeit on the South Coast which is arguably a sub-tropical environment, amounting to an extension of known range for thr species. See a photo of this species p.13, ''A Guide to Australian Moths' , Zborowski, P and Edwards, T. (CSIRO Publishing, 2017).

Does that make it a significant sighting? It’s a joke. I always asked Ciaran if my sightings were significant and he said one day I’d get a significant sighting. I actually do have a couple. 😊
