[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 129828, member: 27677"] Not my picture, but this is the species I think, Endoxyla leucomochla, it certainly looks like it. [ATTACH=full]29557[/ATTACH]The moths don't do much at all bar mate and sit around for days on end. You'll see one on a wall or more often screen doors and they'll be there for about a week not moving even though the door might be opened and closed dozens of times each day. They don't have working mouth parts so I guess once mated the males just wait to die and females wait for eggs to ripen enough to be laid. If you pick them up they don't fly, they just cling to you.
