Yarrow Plume Moth (Gillmeria pallidactyla)

This is another moth in the same family as the moth I posted on 2nd July - http://365project.org/julienne1/365/2015-07-02. This one is so named because its larvae feed on the Yarrow (wild Achillea)

They are a strange looking moth with such thin wings. Nice detail captured

I think it's wonderful that you get all these fab macro insect shots. You must be very patient! Thanks for sharing them with us x

Interesting wings. Great shot.

The moth looks like it's posing for you :) Nice shot!

[Joan Morvinson]

Very different shape. Where do you find all these interesting creatures - you must be very observant

@shirleybankfarm - Yes they are decidedly un-moth-like!

[Julienne Jones]

@photographycrazy - it is only tiny :)

[Julienne Jones]

@yeshanghai @texastrails - thanks, it is an interesting little moth

[Julienne Jones]

@carla42 - I am fairly patient, but I;'m also luck that there are a lot of interesting bugs to see and I don't have to look far!

[Julienne Jones]

@thewatersphotos - the wings are quite different from most moths

[Julienne Jones]

@nitrogene - it did flutter right into my path so maybe it was posing!

[Julienne Jones]

@jomo - they just seem to be all around me - but I do tend to spend a lot of time just gazing into hedges ;)

[Julienne Jones]

@peterday - you have found out my secret

[Sarah Jones]

These are such cute moths. I too spend a lot of time gazing into hedges and bushes...lol!
