Side view of a tiny moth (~5mm in length) with a striking wing pattern of reddish/orange and cream patches with a black spot and feathering at the end of the wing.

We had a few new micro moths in our Perth Hills garden this week, including this beauty.

I think this is Macarostola ida, a leaf miner of plants in the Myrtle family (Myrtaceae).
