Mint Moth.

I was very surprised to see this was a moth as it flew away I thought it was a beetle sitting there as it was very very tiny approx. 1.1/2. cms. It wasn't until I enlarged it on the computer I could see how pretty it was with the lovely colours. I tried to identify it and think it is a mint moth -Pyrausta Aurata.
