It certainly can be tricky! So many look similar and others seem to have an infinite number of color variations. I usually have luck with that site but this tiny, common-looking moth is driving me crazy :p
Oh ok. That's the only site I have. I find it's hard to find an exact species for insects. I've been having trouble myself identifying insects.
Thank you. I have this one bookmarked but wasn't successful in locating this moth. I may have just missed it though.

Does anyone know anything about Cosmet moths? I'm thinking this is one.
