Wikipedia Abstract

Hestiochora tricolor is a moth of the Zygaenidae family. It is found in the southern half of Australia, including Tasmania. The wingspan is about 20 mm. The adults are rather wasp like. They have black bodies with white bands, and a red collar around their heads. The wings are black but lose their scales readily to become partly transparent. The larvae feed on Myrtaceae species, including Syncarpia glomulifera and Eucalyptus species.
