Hello,
Though I have good Lepidoptera literature I do not find a name for this very nice small moth that sat behind our house yesterday. Does anyone know it?
Many thanks, Sundew

It is a Tortricidae, Olethreutes arcuella.

I knew I'd get an ID - many thanks, Jorgen! I overlooked the species in my book as it was drawn in natural size, which made the beautiful wing pattern hardly recognizable. This moth is really great, isn't it?
Cheers, Sundew
