The Australian Bagmoth (Cebysa leucotelus) is a
Psychidae family. It is found in New Zealand and the southern half of Australia (Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia
).
The adult female moth has black wings with yellow wingtips and patches, but they do not expand properly, so she is not able to fly. The male has a similar pattern and colouring, but has no iridescence. His wings are fully developed and adult males can fly normally.
The larvae feed on lichen.
