Plume Moth

Found near gardens, grasslands, and agricultural areas where host plants grow; often seen resting on walls or windows.

Adults feed on flower nectar. Larvae (caterpillars) feed on various plants, commonly Morning Glory, Bindweed, or various composite flowers.

Characterized by their T-shaped resting posture with wings rolled tight and held perpendicular to the body. They are primarily nocturnal or crepuscular, active during dusk and night.

Generally harmless to humans and structures. They serve as pollinators as adults. Some species may be considered minor garden pests if larvae consume decorative foliage, while others help control invasive weeds like bindweed.
