Size: Forewing ≈12mm
Attracted to black light. It is the third individual I encountered during the past five days of this apparently rather uncommon species (cf. this one). Its curved antennae may be due to the moth having been in our refrigerator overnight that regrettably it did not recover from, presumably because it's a subtropical species. Yet, a week ago the night temperature here had dropped to ≈4C and three weeks ago to near freezing.
