Golden Colored Moth
Copyright © 2011 Mardon Erbland

Golden Colored Moth
47.63046N 52.68744W (WGS84), Logy Bay, Northeast Avalon, Newfoundland/Labrador, Canada
July 11, 2011
Size: 5mm nose to wing tips
It's not very often that I've seen an animal that is an actual golden color; not orange but really golden. In the sunlight (4:10 pm) this moth was very close to gold rather than orange. This moth was. Found on patio screen door.

Not Sure But...
... this looks similar to the MPG example of Argyresthia mariana however that species should have a white head. Tom has a similar example here identified as a tineid.
