Many-Plumed Moth

Description:

Yellow and grey mostly. The wings look like feathers!And this is its Unique selling point or USP! Wikipedia says "The Alucitidae or many-plumed moths[1] are a family of moths with unusually modified wings. Both fore- and hind-wings consist of about six rigid spines, from which radiate flexible bristles creating a structure similar to a bird's feather."And here I was thinking the wing was damaged.

Habitat:

Suntaley Khola guest house; drawn to the porch light. Settled on the wall; way above me. Shot it with one hand holding the torch.
