Mother-of-Pearl micro moth

Looking at me from outside the Patio door yesterday I saw this Mother-of-Pearl micro moth ~ Pleuroptya ruralis --- I held the camera about 1 centimetre from the glass
The Mother of Pearl is the largest of the micro moths with a wingspan of 40mm. That makes it bigger than many of the macro moths. But, nature does not always lend itself to having everything neatly pigeon holed according to mankind's convention.
It gets its name from the lustrous sheen of its wings in certain lighting conditions.
The larvae winter hibernate in cocoons at ground level.
