Re: Moth ID help!
Sorry Anno but I am afraid not - what Karen has here is a micro-moth, sometimes called a Bee Moth (Aphomia sociella) - a beautiful female with pale shades of pink, green and buff.
The larvae live in social wasp and bumblebee nests and feed on the detritus in the bottom of the nest.
