#598: Plume Moth


The Plume Moths are a Family of tiny moths with unusual wings. These are often curled up when they are at rest, giving them a resemblance to dried grass and helping camouflage them against predation. There are around 1,000 species, spread throughout the world. Some species have been used as a form of biological control,  helping to control the spread of  invasive plants.
