Pseudoswammerdamia

Last night's moths were few in number and there was just the one micro among them.  But that was Copper-tipped Ermel Pseudoswammerdamia combinella, a new moth for me.

The macros were Red Twin-spot Carpet, 5 Common Pugs, Orange Footman, Muslin Moth, Flame Shoulder, Small Square-spot, Shears, Rustic Shoulder-knot and Vine's Rustic

Earlier I had come across this Cinereous Groundling Bryotropha terrella flying round the garden.

This colourful little beetle appeared at my study window while I was working from home today, my first Common Malachite Malachius bipustulatus.
