This is really interesting! I've never seen this species before, it looks like primary feathers from a bird. They should call this the 'Feather Moth' but the name it has now is pretty descriptive enough. Great photo Nigel! Paul :)

Όμορφη φωτογραφία Nigel...
Τα φτερά του σκώρου έχουν αποτυπωθεί με πολύ καλή λεπτομέρεια. Νομίζω πως το κόκκινο κομμάτι κάτω δεξιά δεν χρειάζεται γιατί αποσπά την προσοχή από το θέμα σου. (GR)

Hello Nigel,
I like those feathered moths very much, althought most often I see the white ones. I think I have never seen this species. Nice shot although some more contrast would be nice.
Best greetings,
Michal

Hello Nigel,
A new species for me, I never see that kind of insects. The photo is very good despite the lack of light. Thanks for that pic, I´m wondered for knowing nature´s diversity.
I´ve changed note about R. sociabilis. thanks

Hello Nigel!
Great picture of fantastic moth species! In Poland we sometimes name this Lepidoptera family as "gost moths" - just because they have so strange wings.
Anyway, very nice DOF and good details! I really like this presentation.
Also the note is very informative!
Best greetings,
Radomir
