Insect ID please (UK)
Taken today in Derbyshire. The antennae were around three times the length of the body.
Many thanks. |

I'm pretty new to these but I would say it's a longhorn moth, possibly "Nemophora degeerella ", but someone more in the know should correct me if I'm wrong.

looks like Longhorn moth to me as well (Nemophora degeerella). The characteristics of very long antennae seem to indicate this identification.

Different species, same family (Incurvariidae). One possibility is Adela rufimitrella
