Found under the vapor light, this moth is a tiny little thing, I searched through the micros but did not find a match first time around. Any ideas?

Rhyacionia
I believe this is something in Rhyacionia (Tortricidae), as seen here.

I agree
I would call it Rhyacionia rigidana - H0dges #2868. I've actually photographed one of these a year ago, but this fella was so tiny that I did not make the connection! Thanks!

Pine Tips ...
Marcia,
Pine Tip Moths can be confusing at best. A severely low angle shot is best for getting past genus.
