Plume moths can be easily recognized by their T-shaped silhouettes and neutral colors. When at rest, they roll up their wings and are easily be mistaken for a piece of dried grass by a potential predator. {Oxyptilus chrysodactyla spotted in the Netherlands by JungleDragon moderator, Pudding4brains} #JungleDragon #Oxyptiluschrysodactyla #MothWeek2020 #NationalMothWeek
