T-moth / Plume moth

Gardens, grasslands, and waste grounds where host plants like convolvulus (bindweed) grow.

Adults feed on floral nectar; larvae (caterpillars) feed on the leaves and flowers of bindweeds and Morning Glory.

Nectar-feeding adults are nocturnal and attracted to light. They rest with their narrow wings held at right angles to the body, resembling a 'T' or a piece of dried grass.

Harmless to humans; larvae may be considered minor garden pests of ornamental Morning Glory, but they provide a food source for birds and predatory insects.
