I love getting names for unknown spottings and usually update as soon as possible. It makes me happy to restore their identity, so to say. I was lucky you recognized this tiny creature. Thanks, again.

Good evening Sukanya, you are most welcome. You have helped me so many times since I joined Project Noah. When I saw your moth and thought that I recognised it, I was very happy to be able to return the favour, albeit in such small measure. John B.

Thank you, John. I never expected to find an ID for this insignificant-looking moth. You must have strained your eyes a lot. THANK YOU for giving me the ID.
