Probably Ocyptamus fascipennis. About 15 mm long. The flower is bee brush, Eysenhardtia texana. Searight Park, Austin.
The English name of this unusual little moth is something of a misnomer, as each wing is separated into 6 'plumes'. The scientific name is more accurate, meaning 'six-fingered'.
The only British member of its family, it is fairly common throughout, and can be found in the adult stage at almost any time of year.
The larva feeds on the leaves and buds of honeysuckle (Lonicera), and the moth is nocturnal and attracted to light.
Yesterday while I was taking shots of the sawfly for the stack I posted, I spotted this tiny Springtail. I had the camera set up for stack, flash off and wide open lens. So took a few shots and this was the only one that almost made it! Had to crop heavily and fool around trying to make sense of it. So lots of noise etc. I vey seldom see these here. By the time I had reset the camera the little guy had disappeared, not to be found!
