The White Plume Moth, Pterophorus pentadactyla is beautiful to behold. Its caterpillars overwinter and feed on bindweed (Convolvulus). source; http://ukmoths.org.uk/species/pterophorus-pentadactyla Click on the picture above to see the moth on a leaf in the middle of the picture.
There is plenty of bindweed growing among these blackcurrants and this lovely moth is a bonus from my lazy weeding.
