Caloptilia ovatiella
Small brown moth with iridescent sheen and long legs that look like it's standing up wearing capri pants over its white legs.
Under the backyard porch light at night.
Wow, very impressive ID investigation, J! Thank you so much. Perfect match :)
Thanks Candice and Keith. Sometimes personifying is just easier than using technical terms :)
That may be the best moth description I've ever read. One of the Leaf Blotch Miners, I'd guess.
