New species - Nemophora degeerella

N. degeerella is a day flying micro moth that is 'common in England and Wales' according to the Field Guide to the Micro Moths of GB and Ireland. It is similar to the much less common Adela croesella but there was a very helpful explanation of the differences that allowed me to confirm the ID. The thing that amazed me was the length of its antennae which stretch out beyond the frame of the photo.
