Corbin Mountain Moth -- back view - Brenthia pavonacella
Madison County, Virginia, USA
May 12, 2015
Size: 3 or 4 mm wingspan
This is a different view of the same moth as my "Corbin Mountain Moth"; the way this moth was holding the fore wings up obscured the body, which you can see better on this photo.

Brenthia pavonacella
This is Brenthia pavonacella (Choreutidae), with its wings in characteristic position.

David, from the size and white banded body I am going to guess that this is . The only reason I CAN guess is because I have seen a number of them. Are you near water?

I am going to frass this one because the photograph really doesn't have enough information for a true ID.
