Plume Moth

Typically found in gardens, meadows, and areas with abundant vegetation; often attracted to artificial lights at night and found on walls or windows.

Adults primarily feed on flower nectar. Larvae (caterpillars) are host-specific, feeding on the leaves, stems, or flowers of various plants.

Notable for their unique T-shaped resting posture where wings are rolled up and held perpendicular to the body. Most species are nocturnal or crepuscular.

Harmless to humans; no sting or bite. Ecological benefits include plant pollination and serving as a food source for birds and spiders. Some species' larvae are considered minor garden pests.
