Honeysuckle Moth
Ypsolopha dentella
The adult is a small moth found around hedgerows, scrub, woodland margins, and gardens where honeysuckle grows. It is mostly active at night, resting by day with narrow wings held close to the body for camouflage. Adults take little food or sip nectar while focusing on finding mates and egg-laying sites. Its pale, patterned forewings help it disappear against stems, bark, and dry vegetation.
