Cracking little moth that one.Not one I've seen before.

Sometimes with moths that hold their wings up in a "tectiform" position or roof life, rather than flat, it's sometimes better to photograph from the side so you get the whole of one wing wing in focus and in this case you would also see the incredibly hairy head and thorax better (feel free to tell me to mind my own business :-))
