Asura conferta
Very small moth
Dear Bayucca,
The flickr link did not work. It is private. Earlier another link from you also had the same fate. However, thanks for your efforts.

I posted a link on Moth Maniacs for the experts...
Dear bayucca, thank you for the links and suggestions. I shall make my own inquiries and come to a conclusion. Meanwhile, I am letting Asura conferta remain.
Hmm... I am really not sure... I based my ID on a picture which was IDed by Roger Kendrick, a wellknown and accepted expert. I do not challenge any of these IDs, but I think we need clarification. There are many conflicts and confusion with all these similar looking Lichen Moths...
Take a look at these ones:

I am VERY sceptic about any of these ID, including mine ;-)...
I think we need here some real experts (not to undermine the knowledge of Nuwan, please!)...
