[va-richmond-general] Re: Henricus, Saturday 5/1

Thanks, Paul, but unfortunately none of the websites were of any help as I had 
no way of narrowing down my search to within searchable limits (i.e., looking 
at less than 100 pictures). The moth in the picture looks more like a beetle. 
The ones I saw were both very small (smaller than a Cabbage White), diurnal, 
with wings held out to the side and over the body so that they resembled 
triangles. They were both of solid color with only a few small spots on the 
trailing lower edges of the wings and maybe one or two in the middle.

  Perhaps an Ailanthus Weborm Moth (Atteva punctella). Check the photo at this
  website, if its not your bug, you can search the images.

  <BUTTERFLIES: Silver-spotted Skipper, Pearl Crescent, Spring Azure, and
  three Swallowtail <species (Tiger, Zebra, and probably Black). Also had a
  very pretty little moth. It was a bright <orange all over, very small, and
  has some black spots along the edges of the wings. Saw it along <the meadow
  near the fence as you walk along the Dutch Gap area. Saw a similar one, but
  <yellow instead of orange, at Bryan Park today. Anyone know any little moth
  species?
