Olethreutes arcuella.
A delightful micro moth and one of my favourite species.
At just 8.5mm long and scarce, I only know of a couple of woodlands where this moth can be found and one of those is a private woodland where I survey insects.
Being so small they can be difficult to follow in flight so photographing them can be very frustrating.
