Plume Moth - Stenoptilia pterodactyla

Plume Moth - Stenoptilia pterodactyla

Like other species it overwinters as an adult. The larvae however can be found on Speedwell exclusively. The rather non descript adults reach a wingspan of up to some 28 mm. The color of the wings is quite variable and may be yellowish, brownish or greyish. This is a very common species all over Britain and Ireland.
