Here is the little 2mm moth I saw last night. I looked it up on MPG, I'm not 
sure if it is 0058.97 – Ectodoemia spp. or 0118.99 – Nepticulidae spp. Can 
anyone help me on this one? By the way, the threads are 3/mm. I got the 
cheapest sheet I could find. 



I think this is the smallest moth I've seen yet. Are there any smaller than 
this? If so, it would be hard to photograph them without a microscope! 


Thanks,
