1288 Twenty-Plume Moth Alucita hexadactyl Clara Vale August 2005	The English name of this unusual little moth is something of a misnomer, as each wing is separated into 6 'plumes'. The scientific name is more accurate, meaning 'six-fingered'. The only British member of its family, it is fairly common throughout, and can be found in the adult stage at almost any time of year. The larva feeds on the leaves and buds of honeysuckle (Lonicera), and the moth is nocturnal andis attracted to light.	1288 Twenty-Plume Moth Alucita hexadactyl Clara Vale 25th April 2007
