What a pretty thing your moth is - it looks as though it's wearing a fur coat.  We have tiny moths here too but none as attractive as yours.

Oak-skeletonizer? Sounds ominous! But it's so sweet and furry-looking.

Well.. skeletonizing an oak sounds like a big job for such a tiny fellow!
Thanks Kildale -- he's great looking and it's fun to see insects that I've never seen before.
