this is Cosmopterix, also known as a cosmet moth whatever that means, and the reason why you can probably barely make out any features is because it's likely the smallest moth i've seen in my life. i would never have noticed it if it wasn't doing this stupid fucking dance on a leaf. maybe it's a courtship thing, or looking for a place to oviposit? i know they're leaf miners, it wouldn't be impossible
i promise to you that this is a multicellular organism, specifically a moth. i know it doesn't look like one. it doesn't look like anything. but it is one
