Moth

Field Notes
Description:
This tiny moth of 4 mm is interesting because it's scales are quite large and clearly show how the patterns are developed by different colored overlapping scales. The last picture is of a different specimen from the 19th of April (same place) but this one has lost many scales from the front part of the wings and thorax, showing how the colors completely disappear with the loss of the scales.
Habitat:
Came to an ultraviolet light in the garden, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
