Field Notes

Description:

Very tiny bird dropping moth, 4 mm in length. Notice how the scales make the moth look wet like a recently deposited dropping. The fringe on the wings also helps it to lose its moth-like silhouette on rough surfaces.

Habitat:

Came to an ultraviolet light in the garden, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
