"This distinctive and beautiful Arched Marble (Lethreutes arcuella) is our Spotting of the Day! Rather striking with its orange ground color and metallic blue-grey streaks, this small moth in the family Tortricidae is found over most of Europe in woodland and heaths. Tortricidae is a rather large family with over 10,350 species described. These moths typically rest with their wings folded back, giving them a rounded profile".
