Plume Moth

haha, thats a brilliant name! I must apologise though as the link i posted before is a dud so here is the original and thanks!! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/46496125

would you please consider adding this spotting to http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/4649... The U.K Arthropod Survey as it would be a very interesting contribution. Thanks!

Moved to Arthropods :-) Arthropods include insects, spiders, crustaceans, millipedes, centipedes, scorpians, etc.

Yes, a plume moth. Most probably it's an Emmelina. There are two species very similar Emmelina monodactyla and Emmelina argoteles. Very difficult to distinguish. Argoteles is a little smaller and more brownish and seems to like water. Another candidate could be Stenoptilia but I don't think so. Do you have veronica flowers (preferred by Stenoptilia) or bindweed (preferred by Emmelina) in the surroundings? Look here: http://ukmoths.org.uk/systematic.php?mode=full#Pterophorinae the various Emmelina and Stenoptilia.

This is a plume moth. They are extremely hard to ID, but should be in the arthropods category since it is a moth.
