By looking at the maps on BugGuide, BAMONA and the Moth Photographers Group,
you might think that Garella nilotica is a relatively uncommon moth but I'm
confident it is a lot more common than what those maps indicate. I think the
problem is that it's tiny, incredibly variable, and it resembles a Tortricid
but is actually a Noctuid.
I put together an album of some I've seen here in 2011/2012 to show just how
variable they are.
