Dotted Gymnandrosoma - Gymnandrosoma punctidiscanum

Sorry for the crazy photo! I couldn't crop the photo properly without the photobombers, so I left them. The ID is for the moth in the middle. The other insects are caddisflies, except for the one tiny leafhopper.

TL: ~10 mm. Grayish brown FW with marbled appearance. Thoracic tuft. White discal spots. Hosts: Locust. Status: Common.

Habitat: Attracted to a 365 nm light in a semi-rural area
