This longhorn moth was sat on the outside of the trap at dusk last night. I'm guessing it's an Adela (unless it's a Nemophora) - presumably either Adela reaumurella or maybe Adela rufimitrella given the apparent orangey crown in the side view. Any opinions would be welcome as this genus would be new to the garden list.
Apologies for the appalling pictures - it's a tricky moth to photograph. The wings are metallic green/bronze in real life.
