Lead-Grey Spots, Pt. 4 - _TNY_2467

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.
