0288 Caloptilia stigmatella

0288 Caloptilia stigmatella
Wingspan around 13mm.

This is a member of a group of similar species, and can usually be found around woodland consisting of Salix (Willow and Sallow).

To me, they belong to a group of moths which I call "Tripod Moths", as they always stand with their front and mid-legs together on each side, whilst the rear legs are put along the body, so from above they look like a small tripod.
