Long, Thin Moths

The first several moths of this shape that I saw were fairly uninteresting looking. Because of their drab appearance and small size, I wasn't very diligent in photographing them. Subsequently I've discovered that they have as much color variation as the bigger moths -- from metallic silver to red to green.
