    Jochen Möhr writes from Mechosin: This morning 16 Eupithecias, most out of reach of the camera, one E. hiemalis and one plume moth.  Jeremy Tatum writes:  I think the default Rumpel Taube-like plume moth here is probably Emmelina monodactyla, whose caterpillar can often be found inside the flowers of Calystegia.  There are several other plume moths locally, but they don’t look quite like this one.
