Top view of a moth with forewings that are generally black with a large band of brown across the middle and various patches of raised tufts that appear white. The moth is around 15mm in length
Mystery moth...🔍🦋
We spotted this moth in March 2025.
Even though it's quite striking with those lovely white wing tufts, I haven't yet been able to ID it. So if anyone has any suggestions on what it might be... let me know
