Presently clinging to our bedroom ceiling is a very small, very pink
moth. It's not one we're familiar with and Ray's attempt to take a
photo of it is defeated by the height of the ceiling and the size of the
moth! I'm not at all sure there are any distinguishing marks on it but
the wings seem to be a slightly deeper pink towards the bottom. I would
think it's about an inch or so long. If anyone has any idea as to what
it might be we'd be grateful to hear it.





I don't know it off hand, but I googled on small pink moth and was given
a good choice. If you don't have a good guide book, this may be your
best approach. Good luck and do let us know what it is if you find it.
I've been trying to id a caterpillar from my garden and think it may
soon be a Muslin Moth.
