Plume Moths

Photos by Claire Curry

I haven't tried too hard on getting them to species, or even to genus.

This fine plume moth was about 11/16 inch across.  It was sitting on the window in the middle of the day.  There was another plume moth on the porch, too.

I always expected them to be fairly large moths, but as you can see from my finger there, it's a tiny thing.  This was my first plume moth ever.
