Notes
This is a tiny moth, and was visiting yellow violet flowers at the base of deciduous trees. There were many of these little moths flitting around on a sunny day. In this image it appears mainly brown, although subsequent images highlight white bands on the upper wings, and white under wings. Was this moth pollinating the flowers? It appeared to be deliberately moving from one flower to the next.
