Date notes: I've tried my best to identify this tiny, very fast butterfly (moth maybe), but I have no idea what it is.

Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I am in Central Florida. It's hot right now. It was around 8:00 am, the sun was out and had been for 2 hours. It was already heating up. The butterfly was FAST. I mean so fast that out of about 40 shots, this one was the least blurry. It was also tiny, say less than an inch (use the dew drops in the picture to see what I mean). It flew erratically, it reminded me of a Ceraunus Blue with its movement.
