User's notes
Weeding out the ALG these moths often flutter out when I disturb the plants. I'd be very interested to know why they are found in ALG, what they are using them for (besides resting). Does its larvae eat ALG? Could it be a potential ALG bio control (these ALG don't look like they've been eaten however!) Flew off after this - couldn't get another pic.
