Micro Moth
Anthophila Fabriciana
Nettle Tap Moth
I took this one last year , but as I didn't managed to capture another one this year - and these ox-eye daisies are going over, I thought I would put. it up. Actually, I haven't managed to capture a single butterfly or moth as yet this year despite there having been an abundance of them. Ah well....
This tiny nettle tap moth is said to be about 10-15mm, I'm going to say this one was no more than 10mm as I recall that was quite a small daisy it was on. Whatever, it's still the smallest moth I've never seen :^))
Incidentally, without my 20x magnifier on the lcd, there is no way I would ever have known this tiny chap was there even then.......
