      Yes, too bad we only have the one species, but it's always nice to see it again :o) Posted 6 years ago

        It really looks like a hand-held fan in this position. Posted 6 years ago

    Nice “capture”! I am glad I don’t have to determine which is which.
    A Six Plume Moth This tiny, ~12mm wingspan, moth also has the common name of the Montana Six Plume moth. The larva feed on species of Lonicera of which there are native and introduced plants nearby. This Alucita montana was found resting on my weather station screen. I initially thought it was part of a new and unusual “icon”!<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/88311/alucita_montana.html Alucita montana,Canada,Geotagged,Winter
