| | | Micro ID anyone?
I have to admit micro moths aren't my forte .... anybody have any ideas on this one? There were quite a few of these around earlier today, mostly on and around nettles. |

Sorry Jez not my forte either but just thought I'd congratulate you on your pic, I can't seem to photo these little blighters, as they flit off as soon as I get my camera! www.wildrossendale.co.uk |

Thanks! There were loads of these about, and very difficult to pin down .... hence the blurry nature of the shot, it was a little rushed ....  |
