This is a micro moth. Wingspan 12mm, tip of the palps to end of the folded forewing 7mm. It is beautiful. More proof that moths are gorgeous and they don't have to be big to be beautiful. The loss of scales on top does not harm the moth. It is collision damage when they come to light. My moths are allowed to fly free after being photographed.

Beautiful picture! Insects have their own beauty. Yet, insects and I can't share the same roof as I am scared of bugs.
What big eyes for such a teeny thing!
