Ah, I see. Those tiny things that people overlook are my passion so I get that term totally! Thanks Lauren.

Lep people use Micro-Lepidoptera for all the itsy-bitsy stuff and obscure families of tiny moths. Everyone likes the brighter things, but it is amazing how beautiful they are when magnified!
