Llangain Moths
Help needed with this little moth, trapped on the 24/06 in friend's garden in Llangain. Just about got through them all.
As usual many thanks.
It looks like Anarsia spartiella - the female of this species has long swept back palps like your specimen. However, they should also have an obvious tuft at the base of the palps (have a look at photos online), which yours seems to lack - but maybe it's just worn away.
