Daytime moths

A couple of random observations from yesterday (3 May) in Bucks. Firstly, in my garden, I found this Angle Shades living rather dangerously by taking a snooze in a spider-web hammock. It seemed to be perfectly relaxed about it!

And there were lots of tiny moths flying at Longwick Bog, including the Vetch Piercer Grapholita jungiella (which wouldn't sit still for a photo) and the very tiny Plain Gold Micropterix calthella, here posed on a daisy flower:
