Family CRAMBIDAE
Subfamily Spilomelinae
Nacoleia rhoeoalis is found in all Australian states and territories. We have seen this species from September to February.
N. rhoeoalis has geniculate antennae (that is a bend or elbow). This is thought to enhance sensory and pheromone detection.
Larval foodplant
The larvae feed on dead Eucalyptus leaves, helping to break down the leaf litter.
