Lead-Grey Spots, Pt. 3 - _TNY_2484
I made a nice discovery in my mother-in-law's bride's feathers (Aruncus dioicus), also known as goat's beard.
This beautiful Tortricid micro-moth is known as Celypha siderana and its larvae has Spiraeeae as their host plants (of which Aruncus belong to).
Initially they where kind of skitterish, but eventually I found one or two who didn't immediately take off at the mere sight of my camera.
Part 1 is taken at 3:1 magnification, so it is much closer: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51281296703/
Part 2 (at 1:1 mag): www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51677538034/in/photolist...
