Plume Moth

Gardens, meadows, woodlands, and urban areas near host plants.

Adults feed on nectar from various flowers; larvae are typically specialized to feed on the leaves, stems, or flower buds of specific plants.

Characterized by unique T-shaped resting posture with wings rolled tightly and held perpendicular to the body. Most species are nocturnal or crepuscular.

Generally harmless to humans and structures. They serve as minor pollinators, though some larvae can be considered garden pests if they feed on ornamental plants.
