   Moralea sends two photographs of unidentified moths on Camas Hill, March 21.  One is rather undistinguished in appearance with no very obvious identification features.  The other is another specimen of the moth first noticed by Rosemary Jorna in 2016, and which is very well marked, and should be (but hasn’t been so far!) easy to identify.  Moth-ers are very interested to find out what this one is.  See also March 18.
