at least I think thats what it is! It was spotted today roamaing around a dandelion clock, and later one was seen on a blade of grass. But what is it?

The photo is no good quality, but the moth seems to belong to family Glyphipterigidae, genus Glyphipterix (cp. http://www.lepifo...pterigidae).

Yes unfortunately the light was low and there was wind. I have no flash so I have to rely on daylight and luck!
