Thanks Lyndsey. I have copied and pasted the information for you so, ti will help you do the rest.

This looks like an oecophorid moth from Family: Oecophoridae. One of the features in this family is the labial palps which ae curved backwards.
Lyndsey, you might not know that name of your specimen but could we request that you add some information about the specimen - size, where you found it, etc., when you have the time. This makes your spotting complete and, in some case it helps with identification. There are allocated spaces for this and information is required. Could you please do this for all your spottings. Thanks.
