Palthis angulalis
Some kind of tiny (about 8 mm wingspan) sphinx moth with a bizarre "snout". See photos 2 & 3.
Semi rural
Thank you John & Jolly! One of the great things about Moth Week is is has made me look much more closely at the small brown moths that I previously hadn't bothered to photograph. I could barely see the weird snout with the naked eye, but macro reveals all kinds of weird & wonderful details!
Thanks Jacob! I think this little guy qualifies as the funkiest moth I've spotted so far!
