This moth was photographed by Val George at his Oak Bay home yesterday. The species has also been reported recently by Ian Cooper and Jeremy Tatum. Because it seems to have a quite distinctive appearance, identification should be straightforward, but apparently there are several similar and very variable species in the crambid Subfamily Scopariinae, and the group may be in need of some revision. In the meantime, it may be reasonable on this site to refer it to the name Eudonia echo.
Probably Eudonia echo (Lep.: Crambidae – Scopariinae)

Jeremy Tatum photographed the moth below at his Saanich apartment this morning.

Judy Smith reported some tiny beetles in her house on Grant Street, Victoria, yesterday. A quick look by Jeremy Tatum suggested that they are probably Stegodium paniceum (Col.: Ptinidae – Anobiinae).
