DR009 Motya abseuzalis

Nolidae, Cloephorininae - Wingspan: 26mm.

Tail High! This strange little moth readily raises its tail to look like a twig shoot as it rests on twig stems. Against light-coloured, older twigs, it could easily disappear from view with this rest position. Four came to the trap here, one each on; 29th May, 31st May, 2nd June, and 6th June.
