This butterfly was shot at night on a stucco wall next to a street light. It is tiny! It measure 3/8" from wing tip to wing tip.

What about addiction...?? I still do not know the exact differenciation between Pyralidae and Crambidae, but yours is an addictive Crambidae as the next step of ID addiction. One we will have an ID for this one!
Great to see you discovering the world of moths! :-) Warning: can become slightly (!) addictive...
Thanks, it sure could be one of the snout moths.
Christine, I am just getting used to macro and discovering a new small world. I find it easiest to shoot with a monopod
I didn't yet find out the differences between Crambidae and Pyralidae. I am pretty sure it is out of these to families.
These tiny moths & butterflies have such intricate wing patterns, I've been attempting to photograph the ones that are attracted to my kitchen lights at night
