Yellow-barred Long-horn Nemophora degeerella

In our part of the world the Yellow-barred Long-horn is well known for the long horns. In fact it holds the record, it has the longest antennae of all European species. The horns are four times as long as the body is, at least with the males. The Yellow-barred Long-horn appears a little later than the other Long-horns on this site, for it is predominantly present in June. The moth is breathtakingly beautiful, but hard to photograph. It is very small and likes to sit in shady places, such as the bottom side of a leaf.
