Sorry for the second thread in 2 days for an I.D but I can't find this moth anywhere. It was tiny, the flower it is sat on is a buttercup so that can show you just how small it was.

Looks like it goes by the name Nettle Tap

A number of Micro moths only have Latin names.
A couple of good books IMHO are Field guide to moths of Grt Britain and Ireland by Paul Waring and Martin Townsend, and British Moths and Butterflies a photographic guide by Chris Manley.
As Chris.S said, It's Anthophila fabriciana,also known as Nettle-tap.

Thanks for the recommendation. I shall definitely invest in one of those books. I tried googling it, but there are so many species, it's difficult to know where to start.
Thank you everybody. ;D
Hate being a pedant but it's one of my pet hates.... birds, insects etc don't have Latin names, they have scientific names.... Anthophila for example, the genus of this moth is Greek :)
My mistake you're quite right.
Do only mammals have Latin names then? ???
I give up !!!! How about hippopotamus? Water horse.... in GREEK!!!
