Thinking Caps On

Reared this from oak (outside chance it was elm) today, forewing 8mm - anybody any ideas?

Saw this flying around yesterday, never seen a blue and pink damselfly before - anyone?

My Elachista miner looks like emerging in the next day or so - looks like E.albifrontella so far.......

Damselfly could be a Blue-tailed female, var rufescens.

Thanks Philip, that looks spot on. Quite a few photos on the web - surprising I haven't noticed one in the wild before.

I've been through my books with a fine-toothed comb and reckon the Tortricid is a dull looking Zeiraphera isertana without any green hues.
