Crambus lathoniellus posing on small twig of common Heather
To the normal eye, this has to be one of our countries' most boring species. It's a tiny white moth that is abundant. With a macro view on the species though, I think it's a rather strange and interesting creature. They usually detect me from metres away, it's a rarity for them to sit still and pose like this.
