Tiny moth on Verbena rigida


Tiny moth on Verbena rigida

He only stayed for a short time - but long enough for a photo!

It's a beauty Spritz ! I think this may be a Celery Looper. They're active both day and night. The caterpillar would feed on beets, blueberries, clover, corn, lettuce, plantain, viburnum and other low plants. It's light green and moves sorta like an inchworm.
Very nice shot !
