Satin Grass-veneer
Crambus perlellus
A slender pale moth found in grasslands, meadows, field margins, and gardens where grasses are abundant. Adults rest head-down on grass stems by day and fly readily when disturbed, often with a quick low flutter through the vegetation. They feed lightly or not at all compared with the chewing larva, focusing mainly on finding mates and suitable grassy habitat. The satin-white sheen of the wings helps make this species stand out among many duller grass moths.
