User's notes
A slender and small dark grey-brown moth with remarkably feathered lone (and very active) antennae, (photo 1). Photo 2 shows what might be a few very fine darker brown markings on the wings. Photos 3 & 4 show what appear to be whitish markings on the under-thorax and head, and possibly the under-belly. Photos 1, 3, 4 & 5 are also suggestive of a white mark atop the eyes.
