I just don't know how you keep finding and taking such beautiful photos of such rare tiny moths. Anyway, I have written a webpage around this one at
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/cosm/chionospila.html
Hope you like it there. And don't you love the white antenna tips (characteristic of Limnaecia) ?
Thanks, Don

Thanks Don It's a great surprise and delight to me too. I'm really enjoying adding new species to CNM while doing a spot of citizen science. It's great to meet like-minds... not everyone likes insects!
I also enjoy contributing to your great site and helping to spread information as far as possible. And yes, I do love those antennae tips!!!
Thanks, I'll have a look at butterfly house :) cheers
