Artist's Comments

The Longhorn Moths are a day active lepidopterans from the family Adelidae, the fairy long horn moths. The wingspan of the moth ranges from 16 to 23 millimeters.

The Longhorn Moth males have antennas ranging up to five times their body length, while the female has much shorter antennas.

This one might be Nemophora fasciella or some other Nemophora moth
