An original unframed watercolour painting of the male Golden Sun Moth - Synemon plana an endangered Australian native insect.
The Golden Sun Moth is a medium-sized, day-flying moth. In the female, the upper-side of the forewing is dark grey with patterns of paler grey scales, and the hindwing is bright orange with black spots along the edges of the wings. In the male, the upper-side of the forewing is dark brown with patterns of pale grey scales and the hindwing is bronze/brown with dark brown patches. The golden sun moth is synonymous with Austrodanthonia species of grasses (Wallaby grass) and is almost confined to grasslands which are home to these grass species. Found in Victoria, ACT and a small area of NSW, this species is listed as critically endangered.
This work is not framed (the image with the frame is just a suggestion). The image size is 70mm × 70mm, or could have a window up to 80mm x 80mm. Please note colours may be slightly different to what appears on your screen. Price includes postage in Australia, by Australia Post.
