Stenoptilia zophodactylus
A delicate moth with pearly body and wings like lateral extensions and a span of about 10mm. Long spikey legs were white.
Spotted near a sports field surrounded by trees and grass.
Caterpillars are said to feed on various members of the Gentianaceae family. Reminds me of a wind-farm turbine ! Synonym: Pterophorus loewii Family: Pterophoridae
