Dasyuris callicrena is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1883. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found in the South Island. This species inhabits open grassy slopes in the subalpine or alpine zones. Adults are on wing from November until February and are day flying. Larvae feed on Veronica odora.
This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1883 and originally named Pasithea callicrena. In 1884 Meyrick gave a fuller description of this species. George Hudson first discussed and illustrated this species under the name Notoreas callicrena in 1898 in his book New Zealand moths and butterflies (Macro-lepidoptera). He subsequently discussed and illustrated this species under the name Dasyuris callicrena in his 1928 book The butterflies and moths of New Zealand. The female holotype, collected at Kinloch in the Otago by R. W. Fereday, is held at the Canterbury Museum.
The wingspan of this species ranges between 32 and 36 mm. Meyrick described this species as follows: Female.—34 mm. Forewings moderate, hindmargin rounded; blackish, irregularly suffused with light reddish; markings... Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rusty Hebe Looper sighting in Fiordland National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 128th most-seen of the 201 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Rusty Hebe Looper in Fiordland National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February to October, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rusty Hebe Looper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Fiordland National Park, in our data
Fiordland National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rusty Hebe Looper sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Rusty Hebe Looper that you can see in Fiordland National Park (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Lacebark Looper (about 20%), Forest Semilooper (about 20%) and Brown Forest Flash (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rusty Hebe Looper is recorded against all the insects logged in Fiordland National Park (10 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
