The Mint Moth

The mint moth is a small moth from the family Crambidae, active by day. The purplish-brown wings have a span from 10 to 15 millimetres, and a single golden yellow spot on each overwing and underwing. The moth is very similar to the related "Pyrausta purpuralis", a slightly larger moth with a larger number of yellow spots.
