@andtheirlovewasrenewed submitted: Saw a plume moth for the first time last night!! If possible, could I get an id? Location is [removed] (please remove). Hope you’re well!

I am well, thank you! Looks like a plume moth in the genus Hellinsia, but I couldn’t narrow it down to a species :)

Love these plume moths (Hellinsia sp.). They show up almost every night in the same spot under the light on my shed.
