Elegant grass veneer (Microcrambus elegans), #5420

One of many tiny moths that are often found flying up from vegetation when disturbed. They are nondescript looking until you see them up close and then remarkably pretty colours and patterns are revealed. This group has the long palps that look like a snout.
