T-Moth (or Plume Moth)

Found in meadows, gardens, and forest edges where host plants like goldenrod or asters grow.

Larvae feed on various herbaceous plants such as goldenrods; adults feed on flower nectar.

Notable for their unique T-shaped resting posture with wings rolled tightly and held perpendicular to the body. They are primarily nocturnal and are frequently attracted to porch lights.

Harmless to humans; serves as a minor pollinator and a food source for birds and predatory insects. Some species are used for biological control of invasive weeds.
