Not sure what this little moth is, its a micro moth which makes them harder to identify. I'm sure its one of the Tortricidae family, but that doesn't narrow it down too much. That said its a little beauty, even down to the patterning on the eyes and that "fire" scale tuft on the back.


Taken with canon 7D and Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro.
 
Great shot, those are some really cool eyes. :)
 
Not sure of the ID, I've misplaced my book. Looks a fine specimen and a well detailed shot.
 
Thanks guys - I've been told its a Eudemis profundana, based on its scale tuft and the pattern of the crosslines.
 
Nice shot. It looks like a moth from the 70's with shag carpet on it. :biggrin-93:
