#2301 - Orocrambus vittellus - Common Grass Moth
A Crambid endemic to most of New Zealand, first described by English entomologist and ornithologist Henry Doubleday in 1843. He was also the author of the first catalogue of British butterflies and moths, Synonymic List of the British Lepidoptera (1847–1850), and other species named by him include the pigmy footman, Ashworth's rustic and the marsh oblique-barred.
There's roughly 50 other Orocrambus species, all native to New Zealand. This one is most common in grasslands, where the larvae feed on Agrostis tenuis and probably other grasses.

Hi I found this silly little bug in an image and I’m having a really hard time identifying him!!
Basic: Moth
Species: Sagariphora magnificalis. I was going to do my normal ID process but I thought the image might be from a wikipedia/wikimedia source because of the format and reverse image searched, and I was right! Here is bitch’s wikipedia page
@wolfpillow submitted: hiya!! i know these pictures arent the best (the critter was soo small and my camera isn't the greatest) but i was wondering if you could maybe identify this little dude? im sure they're some kind of moth but not positive on what type... found in [removed]! (please remove location <:])
A tiny friend! Yes, it's a moth. Specifically a grass moth in Crambidae, maybe a carpet-grass webworm moth, Fissicrambus haytiellus :)

Some kinda snout/grass moth! Don’t ask which one, so many look the same. Incredible snoot on this lad, though.
