Metalmark moth (Caloreas leucobasis), #2641

Photographed at the Fletcher Wildlife Garden on a Potentilla shrub. The very small bee is a green metallic sweat bee, and as you can see the moth is even smaller, giving an indication of how tiny it is.

1/1000s f/5.0 at 72.0mm full exif

Nice photo with the bee for comparison to show how small these moths really are.
