Species 39 - Small Magpie

Only my second moth, reflecting an overall bad moth year, I think. In fact I haven't had a macro moth yet, as this is actually a micro moth and the other species was a plume. Either way this is a nice insect, which I found when I disturbed some vegetation near the pond. I also had a new species of hoverfly this evening, which would have got the selected, but the photo was very poor. I hope I come across it again.
