Chalcedony Midget Moth

Found this moth on a window screen. Sent it to the experts to get an id. Turned out to be a new species for me. Very little info on it with a internet search other than what the larvae eat and where they can be found. The name Chalcedony comes from "CHALCEDONY: a precious stone, usually gray and/or whitish, sometimes mixed with other colors, resembling the colors on the moth's forewing" (Bugguide) Midget moths in general get their names from their tiny size and this one was really small.
