Very tiny moth - Orange Plume Moth (Crombrugghia wahlbergi) Pterophoridae

While working on the PC, this extremely small moth decided to see what I was doing on it.
It is a very small one with a wingspan of less than half an inch but it had there interesting wings and almost thorn-like appendages on its legs.
Please excuse this bad shot but it is the only other one I have and as it was dark, I had to use the flash which messed up the colors in the body.
