Field Notes

Description:

This one of the smallest moths I have seen to date. It measures no larger than 1/4" wide. This little guy has taken a beating and couldn't close his wings all the way. I haven't seen this species before.

Habitat:

Tropical dry forest in NW Costa Rica 7 weeks into the rainy season.
