Spotted this small moth (about 10mm long, wingspan about 18mm) hiding in the gap by my shed door. For once I was able to identify it - Dipleurina lacustrata
These fly in June and July. The larvae feed on various mosses and lychens growing on tree trunks, rocks and walls.
Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
Spot on with the ID but where is a snap of the larva. I know a naughty bird ate it.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: They all hatched out!
DeleteRather dapper fellow
ReplyDeleteSimon: Even the smallest of creatures often have intricate markings, when you can get close enough to see them.
Deletenice.
