Argyresthia pruniella – This tiny micro-moth is around 6mm (1/4in) long, and you might find it congregating around cherry trees on a warm summer evening. They characteristically rest nose-down.

A funny guy 🙂 Very nice and interesting coloured. A lot of insects came to my notice, but the little moths were not so much on my focus. I think they will from now on 🙂

They are easy to miss, Adele, and it is not until you get up quite close to them you realised how pretty and fascinating they can be 🙂

That’s a funny pose. Are you sure it wasn’t mooning you? 🙂 1/4″ is very small.

Ha ha! 🙂 It’s one you can miss very easily because of its small size.
