late night visitors

No matter how careful i am with lights after dark or keeping doors and windows carefully closed, we always seem to get some flying visitors that find their way in and end up fluttering around the computer screen.  Last night was no exception.  a small mothish flying creature landed on the screen. just a little bitty thing, about half an inch, maybe less, from wing tip to wing tip. what was so unusual was the color.   This little guy was gold in color. i mean it was gold. i watched it for a few minutes and finally left to find the camera. it  disappeared by the time i returned.  no fluttering, fluffing,  poking or pushing could unearth the little guy.

I do not recall every seeing, or being aware of a tiny moth that was such a striking gold color, not yellow but  gold.

I hope i see it again.
