This one shouldn't be too difficult - taken in Kefalonia, Greece in June. My first guess was Pine Processionary, but I'm now very doubtful about this.

Thanks again

This is a micro - a member of the family Cossidae - Parahypopta caestrum (HÜBNER, [1803-1808]).

Thanks Martin

Very helpful. I took this photo two years ago and have been trying to ID it since. I had forgotten the size of the moth (and how big the letter A was on the noticeboard it is resting on!).
