Ypsolopha dentella – If you grow honeysuckle in your garden the chances are you may have some of these. This is a chestnut-brown and cream to whitish patterned micro-moth with distinctive upturned wingtips. It has a forewing length of around 11mm ( almost half an inch).

Perfect and distinctive. My next door neighbour has honeysuckle. I may have some explaining to do if I’m caught poking around in it.😂
