The pastel pink, green and blue species in this large case are rare ghost moths of the genus Aenetus.
The large specimen in the centre is the Giant Fruit-sucking Moth, Phyllodes imperialis. The muted, pastel shades of many nocturnal moths appealed to F.P. Dodd. They contrast with the garish colours of many butterflies.
