Miniature concealer moth

With a wingspan of just 15 mm, this is truly a tiny moth.

 

Within the family Oecophoridae, commonly known as concealer moths. So called because they are camouflaged, often resembling bird poo.

 

Possibly Zonopetala decisana as physically similar to the naked eye.

 

Caterpillars appear to feed on dead wood and lichen.
