This small Micro Moth was found on Garlic Mustard (Hedge Mustard) during the day at CB LNR unfortunately not the best shot but the only one . I would say it would have been about 5 mm or So
Not at all sure about this one ?
Slightly more recognisable this Orange Tip male was seen with peacock , Tortoise also flying today

It's one of the Nepticulidae, typically around 3mm in length and with enlarged bases to the antennae forming a prominent eyecap. None of them are associated with Hedge Mustard and there are too many similar species to ID this one. The bramble feeding Stigmella aurella is a possibility.
Thanks Charlie . would make sense on low ground layer and as you say it was small Nepticulidae as good as you can get from the image many Thanks C
