This butterfly has wings made ​​of radios. I think it belongs to the family Alucitidae.
An expert knows your particular species?
Photographed on a mirror, inside a home in Motril, Granada, Spain.
Wingspan with outstretched wings, something less than a centimeter.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation and help.
Regards

Alucita species hard to identify from an image. Male genitalic preparation is needed. An important publication on this matter is:
SCHOLZ & E. JÄCKH (1993): Taxonomie und Verbreitung der Westpalaearktischen Alucita-Arten (Lepidoptera: Alucitidae (Orneodidae)). — Alexanor 18 (4): 3-64.
