Some Pterophoridae?

I found a lot of these at the Kranji Nature Trail yesterday. Would appreciate some help in identifying what species this is, and what the hostplant might be... thanks!

Geez! How do these things fly?
Slowly!

This plume moth looks like a species of Deuterocopus.

cheers,

Thanks Roger. Ever helpful. :)

I did a search and found that their hostplants includes Avicennia, which might explain why they are so plentiful in the mangroves.
