I found a couple of these tiny moths resting on a tree trunk along a woodland trail. They didn't look like much from a distance, but they're actually quite attractive!

Micro on tree
This is Gracillariidae: Cameraria hamadryadella. The larva is an upperside blotch leaf miner on oaks.

We are reminded of Argyresthia
But don't know what North American species would be related to them. Some sample images: bonnetella , spinosella . We're eager to see what Bob discovers from his search.

Fantastik Foto, Jay!
I'll send this to a couple of people who might at least identify the family, if not the species.
