    It is precious! I would have thought of this moth as being Adscita geryon:

    but is true that there are also Jordanita species very much alike..is difficult to tell!

      Yes this family is a nightmare for ID.
      The difference between Adscita and Jordanita (for females) lies on the shape of antennas :
      - constant thickness with pointed tips --> Jordanita
      - antennas widening significantly before ending by pointed tips --> Adscita

      For males, the difference is even smaller...       Posted 5 years ago

    Great picture. Congratulations. It is very difficult to shot a moth without any vibrations in the nature. Posted 5 years ago
