@dawnsiren submitted: Lovely little moth friend found in Western Montana! Not sure what they are other than ‘small’
Small and cute! It’s a meal moth, a non-native but common dry goods pest.

A cute little meal moth (Pyralis farinalis) attracted to the moth light. A pest of stored grains but pretty to look at :-).
Cute character I decided to add! Dunno what she’ll be up to in the future, but I like her a lot.

saw this lovely moth in western australia! any idea what kind it might be? thanks! ^_^
Sure, it's a meal moth. Their larvae can be pests of stored grains and cereals, so if you're seeing a lot of them, check your food stores to make sure they're not nibbling anything. Seeing one adult isn't a big deal as they occasionally wander indoors.
