Wikipedia Abstract

Pollanisus apicalis is a moth of the Zygaenidae family. It is found in the eastern part of Australia (Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania). The larvae feed on Hibbertia obtusifolia and Hibbertia virgata. Adult moths are day flying, and can be found feeding during the hottest hours of the day. Mating takes place in the afternoon and lasts until the following morning, and following this the female lays eggs on the host plant.
