This one is so unique, yet so hard to ID! I can't find a species with that unique shape and with shoulder and head tufts. I agree it could be in the family Tortricidae. Nolidae might also be a possibility. Posted one year ago

        True. On those I can't find the ID of I just put a random moth family name in the title, knowing it triggers you. Posted one year ago
