Micro moth sitting on an ox-eye daisy petal. I call these grass moths as they are more commonly found head down on grass stems.

    Brian,

    Thanks. You have just helped me to justify my latest book purchase "British Pyralid Moths" by Barry Goater.

    That wing pattern fits Agriphila tristella, whose habitat is tall grasses, from which it is "readily disturbed" in daytime.
