    I wouldn't call it very small, but it is Agonopterix rotundella!

    Must be a good record - first modern record for East Glamorgan?

    It's the first record for East Glam, and only the second modern for the whole county.

    Thanks Dave and GMT. Perhaps not very small I admit,but I was fending off bigger mosquitoes at the time!

    Distracted by the Agonopterix, I didn't notice that this is the earliest VC41 record for Small Waved Umber by three weeks!
