Description

I figured this for a tortricid, since it was so small (12 mm long). Turns out its a midget noctuid -- literally: that's what it's called. Love the pattern on this one. One of the kicks I get out of moth photography is that you can see so much more in a macro photo than you can with the naked eye.
