Anania coronata – This has to be one of my favourite micro-moths with its beautiful pearlescent markings. Another one that was attracted to the outside garage light, despite the continuing rain.

Like Linda, I had a different critter in mnd.I grew up with this one. Maybe you did too.
What a lovely patterned moth. A very pristine individual so enjoyable to see. Any moth with green markings i a friend of mine. 🙂

There was a series of Heckle and Jeckle cartoons. Always causing mischief. I loved them as a kid.
