| | Unidentified Moth
I believe that this could be a moth but am unsure and would like any suggestions as to its ID? Being so small and sitting on an internal, light wall created problems for a better picture.
Measured, when rested as in picture, from wing tip to wing tip 6mm.
With Thanks |

| | | Re: Unidentified Moth It's an Owl Midge (or Moth Fly), member of the fly family Psychodidae. Sometimes less romantically called Drain Flies. I think they're rather cute. Unfortunately more or less impossible to identify from photographs. |

| | Re: Unidentified Moth Thanks poschiavanus for the id. Had a look at info and can assume as I have several containers full of old rain water outside the door it has probably liked being around here! They are an interesting fly and not one I have seen before.
