Hello Marie,
Interesting micro moth similar to the Nettle-tap Moth. Good focus on the eye and interesting details. I expect it is as tiny! A very fine composition.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hello Mariki,
A good macro of a Tortricoid moth taken from a fine POV with fine sharpness against a pleasing BG, that should enable a specialist to ID it.
TFS,
Have a good weekend,
Cheers,
Ivan

A fine capture with a critical DOF Marie, this surely is a very small moth, still, the eye and the back swept antennae are arresting. A difficult image to capture, no doubt.

Beautifull capture Marie! Small beauty. I like colours - not only black and white but also grey, brown/gold. Detailed and sharp, with good POV. Thanks for sharing this micro moth!

Hello marie, Very nice information on the shot. Good colors. Ganesh

Hi Mariki,

Very nice shot, you must be dedicated to take the time and effort to identify these little moths that look so much like other species.

Hello Marie,
Nice close up of a moth that looks quite similar to some we have here. Great job Marie thanks for sharing.

The leaf provides the scale to the size of this small Moth, Marie.
The sun lit subject lying across the leaf is well captured in this shot.
The details and colours on its folded wings are nicely delineated.
TFS and regards.

Bonjour Marie,
Good macro with such a small size moth!
the sharpness, colour and details is excellent!
well done
p/s now I understand that Jean Charles (JCG) is your brother after his last post of a Bee in TE who introduce you in this site!

Bonjour Marie Christine,
Ce minuscule lepidoptère, je viens de le voir aussi pendant mon séjour en Valais, mais je n'ai pas réussi à le photographier de si près, trop petit.
Ce genre de photos nous sont si utiles pour l'identification et aussi pour les archives de TN. Encore un grand merci, aussi pour ta gentille critique de mon paysage alpin.
Bon après-midi
Anne

Buena captura de esa polilla, no exenta de dificultad como todas las especies similares. Buenos contrastes y encuadre.
Saludos Marie: J. Ignasi Tejedor

Hello Mariki, again great shot of a little moth species. TFS and regards,
