Bondia crescentella

Length is about 6.5 mm. It was at the top of my screen door and much higher than my tripod. To get the picture I stood on a step ladder and kept snapping pictures until one looked reasonable.

  Thanks, Ferdy! I've looked and looked at the moths at Moth Photographers group from the primitive Micropterigoidea to the Pyralidae with no luck. Posted 6 years ago

  I think I might be close to getting the species on this or maybe just another false start: Bondia crescentella
