#3809 - Stenoptilia zophodactylus - Dowdy Plume Moth

"Narrow Wings and Dusky Fingers"

First described by French soldier and entomologist Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1840.

A cosmopolitan species, whose caterpillars are usually found feeding on Gentians and others of that family, but also occasionally from plants in the Broomrape and Daisy families.

Spotted twice on the previous big trip, in Cooma and Tumbarumba on opposite sides of the Snowy Mountains. i'm a bit surprised I managed to get an ID - Plume Moths are something of a pain to tell apart.
