Aristotelia roseosuffusella

I think this might be Aristotelia roseosuffusella not Aristotelia fungivorella as I originally identified it in 2020.

Gorgeous! It looks like it is wearing a fringey, 1920s flapper dress! Posted 5 years ago

  Now that you mention it.
  
  That moth wouldn't sit still. I saw it early in the evening and just as I got the camera set up it flew away. I thought I'd never see it again but an hour later it was back and quite calm. One of three new moths last night. Posted 5 years ago

      Just chipping in here to say that if this moth influx continues, it would soon surpass birds as the most numerous category on the site. In any case it seems we have a lot of flying things. Posted 5 years ago

      Sent this to Ferdy somehow but: I have a few dozen tiny moths that I'm still trying to figure out. One of my projects this summer was to get photos of the small moths. They're tough ones to identify. Posted 5 years ago
