Apodia bifractella

Inspired by the Daves, Wilton and Morris, who posted recently about this species, I went hunting it successfully on a stand of Common Fleabane by the River Chess today. Admittedly, this bit of the Chess is in Hertfordshire.

 

I came across five, eventually, but this little moth is easily missed. All the ones I found were dark and more or less plain and one could imagine someone encountering one by chance and being puzzled by its identity.
