Palpita vitrealis - a pretty little moth, though its larvae feed on olive
« on: August 20, 2012, 03:13:34 PM »
Palpita vitrealis, sitting on the globe over an outside light in my garden, 12aug12.
I had been wondering about the little larvae on the leaves of one of my olive trees...
But I think this particular moth is a bit too big, perhaps.
