Micro-moth macro

Still getting used to my new macro lens, used here with an extension tube, making depth of field really tricky. This was probably the best shot today - a small (8mm) longhorn moth Adela reaumurella. This one's a female; with the male the antennae would be twice as long, three times the length of the wings. There are plenty around at the moment, dancing in groups in sunny clearings in woods.
