This little guy was fluttering about the yard this afternoon. He's tiny but very bright.

Any ideas?

I think it's one of these forester moths, genus Alypia

Close, but the ones in the link don't have the big flashy yellow spot between the wings...that I could see, anyways...?

On second look, I think you're right.

I've been wondering about that too... and the white margin on the wing... I take it back, I think I found the right moth this time, a White-spotted Sable moth, Anania funebris

Sorry 'bout that!
