Morning Glory Micro Moth

I always peer into the bells of morning glory. This afternoon I was rewarded with the sight of a micro moth. I've seen lots of these lately and togged a few but haven't posted them as they're a bit drab-looking against green. I think the special reflected light inside the flower shows this tiny moth off to good advantage and its size can be judged in relation to the stigma and stamens of the flower.

The bellbine was climbing through a patch of nettles, which figures as this is a Nettle-tap moth.
