This is the common tubic, colloquially known as Geoff (because its latin name is Alabonia geoffrella.)
Despite humans calling it ‘common’ and giving it the same name as one of my annoyingly misogynist former supervisors, this glorious moth continues to sparkle. Its teeny tiny orange and blue wings are a lesson in colour theory! & Look at those incredibly fluffy palps!! The wing-fringe!!! This particular species of Geoff is a gahdammed joy.
May we be as delightful as this micromoth, no matter how common people say we are.
