Field Notes

Description:

This is one of those tiny moths that make a funny dance on the surface of leaves with wings open, but closes them when resting. I was lucky enough to get it when it stoped for a moment.

Glim and colors reminds far in my brain (but very far away!) of a Metalmark Moth, Choreutidae??? But it has somehow different looking wings. Probably an other micromoth?

Beautiful little thing. The micro-leps are so fascinating and complicated!
