White plume moth

Gardens, woodland edges, hedgerows, and other areas with herbaceous plants; adults often rest on walls, fences, and buildings.

Larvae feed mainly on bindweed (*Convolvulus* and related plants), consuming leaves and flowers. Adults generally do not feed or take only small amounts of nectar.

Primarily nocturnal, with a weak, fluttering flight; it rests with wings folded into a distinctive plume shape. Several generations may occur in warmer regions, and larvae pupate on or near host plants.

Harmless to people, pets, and buildings. Larvae can damage bindweed and other ornamental plants, while adults contribute modestly to pollination and local food webs.
