Plutella xylostella
Small brown moth with creme, wavy band along the top. This moth was about 7 mm long and held its antennae out front like horns. There were dozens of them on the ground cover plants.
Coast Sage Scrub along trail on unknown weedy looking groundcover. "Probably of European or Eurasian origin but is now found throughout the world. It was first observed in North America in 1854 and is now common in the U.S. and southern Canada."

No problem!
Hi Desmond, it is similar but I believe the ID currently showing is correct. Of course any other suggestions are welcome as many times, species can look quite similar. Thank you very much for the suggestion!
It probably is... but do you think it is what I suggested AKA Apple leaf miner?
Thanks Desmond, I just got it :) It's a Diamondback Moth!
hmm... I will look into what that is. Don't know right now though :(
