Family Pyralidae
- This page contains pictures and information about Colourful Pyralid
Caterpillars that we
found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
-
 - Salma pyrastis,
subfamily Epipaschiinae, length 30mm
-
- Caterpillar pictures were taken in Karawatha Forest during mid summer
2005. The moth is brown in colour with yellow patterns on hind wings. In the
second photo, the caterpillar was running very fast that we could not even
take a better photo before it climbed to the tree top.
