Azalea Leaf Miner Moth

Caloptilia azaleella

Notes:

While this is Gracilaria all of the reference's markings seem different than this and I think the colour might be yellow and brown although purple and yellow on the same plane can make the purple show as brown. I am almost certain I am wrong in this id Mid-March this little moth is under every light where nocturnal moths are found. They are the most common moth in that situation.

They look an old penny rocket about to be launched
