20 Plume Moth

I have recorded this species, Alucita hexadactyla, once before (2015) but I got a much better photo this time that shows the plumes it is named for better. I can also count all twenty this time! This is the only Plume Moth in the Alucitidae family - there are a whole stack of them in the Pterophoridae family. All are Micro Moths.
