Rhigognostis sp.?
Why Gelechiidae? Did you find something similar?

Not sure if you saw my comment below, but I think this is Plutellidae. I was thinking Rhigognostis or close to it but found nothing similarly patterned. Just did a little more searching and found a European species of that actually is closer so I am leaning more toward that genus.


That said, I'm still not sure I even have the right family.

Just another mistake. Sorry, I missed your comment and would have studied it more carefully had I seen it. I scrathed my eye in my sleep last night and am having a hard time seeing. Hope I didn't mess up my new lens!.Will move it to Putellidae later. Saw your note about the "little" guy. He is really unusual to me. From one of RLZ's comments about the length of Fairy moth antenna I wondered if it might be one of those, but I don't think they have that shape.

Plutellidae
Looks like something in Plutellidae but was not able to find a match.
