Sitting on the fence (common plume moth)

Sitting on the fence (common plume moth)

I don’t know how they fold their wings like that, but this is a common plume moth.

I disturbed it, as it was inconspicuously holed up for the day on my bike. It fluttered, only for a short distance, and landed on the top of a garden fence.
