Plume Moth

Found worldwide in gardens, grasslands, and woodland edges where larval host plants are present.

Adults feed on floral nectar; larvae (caterpillars) feed on various leaves, stems, or seeds depending on the species.

Known for their unique "T-shape" resting posture with wings held perpendicular to the body. They are primarily nocturnal or crepuscular.

Generally harmless to humans; some species are considered minor garden pests, while others are used as biological control agents for invasive weeds.
