Dear forum,

I took the first picture of this moth - identified on "Waarnemingen.nl as Eudonia mercurella - in my living room on January 19th, the second picture on January 20. The position of the antennae changed from slightly curved to something resembling a corkscrew. I saw this moth today again and the antennae were slightly curved again, like in the first picture.
Could someone explain this?

Best regards, Niek
