Emmelina monodactyla

To you and me - a plume moth:

Spotted on the back door to the garage.
Easily recognised by its rolled up wings.
Wing span about 20mm

  1. That is a serious find. I have seen one and called it a T moth. Bee flies and posh moths you are having a good run.

  2. Adrian: Things are looking up on the photographic front after a dreary Winter. T moth is a very good name for them.

  3. I don't like those plumes, they are scary! I prefer the pretty twenty plumes which are now coming into season. Very pretty little moth.

    1. SDT: I find all moths scary, especially when they are bumbling about indoors.
