Plume Moth

From Great River and Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuges:




This unique insect, with it's thin body and "T" shape, is called a Plume Moth. Their wings have the appearance of a bird's plume (feathers) and when at rest, the moth rolls both wings into a rod shape. The result is an unusal profile for a moth. When perched, they resemble a vintage propeller airplane.
