@ibaird Thank you! I got a new macro lens for my camera, makes capturing insects much easier.

Worn, but matches S. magnifica. A new species for NatureMapr and NatureMapr's South Coast region. Excellent photos.

@SuziBond I thought this looked like a Sun Moth but well out of range for the only one I'm familiar with, S plana. Someone on iNat suggested S magnifica, can you confirm?
