Hi Alexandra, That moth looks to me like a scarlet-winged lichen moth. They live outdoors and eat lichen. Beautiful!

Hope this helps.

This has obviously increased the number of bugs and insects around the door. I haven't seen much intrusion beyond the doorway, but I want to make sure that with the increased insect traffic around the door that I am responding properly to any heightened risks, if any (i.e. add lure traps near the interior door, etc.). We are located in western South Dakota, USA. I've attached two photos. The moth looks like a painted lichen moth, and in the beetle photo one looks like a type of weevil. Any recommendations for additional trapping needs/methods is appreciated. (Apologies for the image quality). Thank you!
