A many-plumed moth.-Spores&More

Ah I’ve never seen this moth before but looking up photos of it so thank you @sporesmore

So doing a little research, these moths are from the family Pterophoridae which are the plume moths.

The many-plumed moth wings are a modified so that the fore and hind wing are made up of six spines and have these little bristles all over them.
