WHAT DOES MANY-PLUMED MOTH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

many-plumed moth

Many-plumed moth

The Alucitidae or many-plumed moths 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. This is a small family, with about a global total of 130 species described to date. They are found mostly in temperate to subtropical regions. But they are rare even in parts of their core range; both in Great Britain and North America for example, only one species is found – the Twenty-plume Moth – and in the latter region, it is introduced. This smallish moth can often be found fluttering in the evening twilight or resting with its "wings" outstretched. Its larvae feed on honeysuckle. On the other hand, in Continental Europe a considerable number of species, mostly of the large genus Alucita, occur.
