At first I thought this was just a scrap of dried leaf or something similar, but then I looked more closely and could see that the two white bits sticking out one end were in fact tiny legs. It was a moth, a Lesser tawny tubic (Batia lunaris), hands down the smallest moth I’ve ever seen.

According to the UK Moths website, it has a wingspan of 7-10mm, is present throughout England (it doesn’t mention the rest of the UK but, obviously, it’s here in Wales!), and can generally be found in woodland areas – if you can find it at all, that is. I’m so glad I decided to check it out rather than ignore it.
