Small colorful moth, 5 mm in length. Something that is very interesting about micro moths is that although their bodies are much smaller than most other moths, their scales are not. It is as though there is a minimal limit to the functional size of moth scales. The scales on tiny moths often look too large for their wings.
Came to an ultraviolet light in the garden, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
