Moth, micro, Nepticuloidea - Stigmella multispicata
Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, USA

Size: 1.5 mm
At MV lamp. Irridescent scales cause what seems to be color banding, but the moth appears to be evenly irridescent, with the angle of the lighting causing raised or indented areas to refract differently.
