First leafminer moth I manage to pin without breaking anything! Phyllonorycter I think. I'll be asking around the microlep people I know to see if I can get help for a species level ID, these guys tend to require DNA for that.
I've done other microleps but these guys are the true hardmode
Then next to some other little guys I doublemounted. The Dialictus is a little banged up but should still be an acceptable specimen
Bug of the Day
Look at this tiny little moth dude! So much flair! I believe this is a maple Caloptilia (Caloptilia bimaculatella).
