Metalmark Moth - Prochoreutis inflatella

Metalmark Moth - Prochoreutis inflatella
York County, Virginia, USA
August 18, 2012
Size: Approx. 3cm
This micro moth was just sitting on my car and I couldn't believe my luck when I saw how how beautiful it was. After some research I discovered that it was a Metalmark Moth. It's forewings have what looks like silver metalic stripes and speckles. I suppose it found some camouflage on my silver car.
