Double-banded grass veneer (Crambus agitatellus), #5362

Larose Forest

One of many tiny moths that are often found flying up from vegetation when disturbed. They are nondescript looking until you see them up close and then remarkably pretty colours and patterns are revealed. This group has the long palps that look like a snout. THis one came to the lights when mothing.

I like the textured white background you have chosen, it compliments the moths so well. V
