  • Strange insect

    While painting my shed yesterday this strange insect landed on the door. I've never seen it before and wondered if anyone out there has seen one or has any idea what species it is?

    Think it looks like a plume moth?

      I'd go along with the plume moth - seen a fair number of them now. Did wonder what the 'eck it was when I first saw one though - cleverly folded wings.

        Hi Skegblade,
        It looks like a type of Plume moth to me. Here's a link to a photo.

            I saw one of these a few weeks ago resting on the side of the car. Thought it was a bit of straw at first - until it flew off and went onto the hedge. You've saved me having to look it up now!
