Tincey wincey

It was a really good mothing night last night, with quite a few new garden species, mostly micros.
This little moth was sitting on one of the early egg boxes and even though it was really tiny, I could see it was also really colourful and beautiful.
A bit of id research and I found out it is an Orange Pine tortrix moth (Lozotaeniodes formosanus), Locally distributed in Southern England and Wales, where Scot's pine grows.
Another lovely moth to add to the list for my little garden.
