White Plume Moth

I have seen this before (in 2016) but it deserves another mention as it is a rather elegant creature. It relies on Bindweed for its survival but I found this one indulging itself on the heady attractions of Common Ragwort in the early evening. Despite its size the White Plume Moth ((Pterophorus pentadactyla) is a micro moth and is perhaps the commonest of the 44 species of micro moth found in the UK.
