Plume Moth

Found worldwide in gardens, fields, and wetlands, often resting on vertical surfaces like walls or curtains indoors.

Larvae/caterpillars feed on the leaves, stems, or flowers of host plants (such as Eupatorium or Bindweed); adults feed on nectar.

Notable for their unique T-shaped resting posture where wings are rolled up and held at right angles to the body; primarily nocturnal.

Harmless to humans; no sting or bite. Most are neutral to ecosystems, though some species are used as biological control for invasive weeds.
