Rusty Dot
Udea ferrugalis
This small moth lives around grassland, gardens, hedgerows, and disturbed places where its larval food plants grow. Adults fly mostly at dusk or night and visit flowers for nectar rather than eating leaves. Its rusty-brown wing markings help it blend into dead vegetation and bark when resting. The species is known for being strongly migratory, with adults often appearing far from where they developed.
