Genus Acrolophus
A grassy section of our backyard. The grass has been left long for fireflies.
These wee moths landed together and then flew (hopped?) off together.

Thank you so much for your suggestion, Maria. I've not contacted them with the photo, but I did poke around a bit and was introduced to the wonderful phrase "microlep". Armed with that and "Microlepidoptera" from whatsthatbug.com I am off to do another round of searching.
Perhaps if you submit the first photo to BugGuide.net, they can help you ID it.
