Sorry - I do not know it either. There are several lepidopteran families that contain small moths, and your animal is a bit out of focus (however, I also experienced that the autofocus of the camera has difficulties to focus on the wings, possibly because of the peculiar surface of a butterfly wing.) By googling, the only photo that bears a certain resemblance to your moth I found under http://home.scarl...hiidae.jpg, but it is most probably another species. The Gelechiidae family might fit, but I am absolutely no Lepidoptera expert . Regards, Sundew |

Thanks Sundew!!!!!!! At least I will put it in Gelechiidae... I think that a species with distinctive wing-pattern, as this one, can be recognized easier than a monocolour moth... |
