Common Pug
Eupithecia miserulata
A tiny pug moth of open habitats, garden edges, and weedy places where its larval host plants grow. Adults rest with patterned wings flattened against bark, leaves, or walls, then fly mostly at dusk and night. They may take nectar, but their main adult activity is finding mates and suitable plants for eggs. Its finely mottled wings make it difficult to spot despite its pale, delicate build.
