It’s in the family Gracillariidae and most likely in the genus Acrocercops – according to Dave Wagner it may represent a new species, but that’s not an uncommon thing with small moths. It was fairly abundant, so . → Read More: Monday Moth By Chris Grinter, on December 3rd, 2012% Today’s moth is a stunning micro and another creature from Barb Bartell’s back yard in the Rockies.

Once I start digging through the micros from this site there are sure to . → Read More: Monday Moth By Chris Grinter, on November 26th, 2012% To reignite the Monday Moth series here is a stunner: Melemaea magdalena (Geometridae).
