Diuris basaltica, commonly known as little golden moths,[2] or small golden moths[3] is a species of orchid which is endemic to Victoria. The species has suffered a catastrophic reduction in range and distribution as a result of clearing for agriculture, then by urban expansion until only about four hundred plants remain in the wild.
