These moths are quite common. On page 370 IFB Common, Moths of Australia, it is reported that
some larvae raised from eggs accepted Callistemon saligna, Eucalyptus tereticornis and
Angophora floribunda as food. All these plants are in the family Myrtaceae.

Dissomorphia australiaria MACARIINI ENNOMINAE GEOMETRIDAE

 

 Family:- GEOMETRIDAE
Sub Family:- ENNOMINAE
Genus:- Dissomorphia
Species:- australiaria

The second photo on the right for the moth above, has a second moth in the upper left hand corner, enlarged in the photo at left. This moth is tiny. The painted surface it is on appears smooth to the naked eye. I did not see the moth when I took the photo. I have not been able to identify it but I think it is possibly from the family OECOPHORIDAE.

Geometrinae - Emeralds

 Comibaena connata GEOMETRINAE GEOMETRIDAE

This first moth is in the genus Comibaena, and I think the species is connata. It is also possible it is Comibaena mariae. The two are very similar and there are not a lot of reliable photos for positive identification. It appears that more C. mariae have been collected in the Brisbane region but my sample looks closer to C. connata.

Family:- GEOMETRIDAE
Sub Family:- GEOMETRINAE
Genus:- Comibaena
Species:- connata
