Plain gold (Micropterix calthella)

Incredibly small and ancient moth with biting mouthparts (it eats pollen). I found this one with 5 of its mates in a buttercup.

Do you ever marvel that something that small still has all the necessary parts?

@bette Yes it's a miracle of minaturisation.

Lovely sheen on its wings, six inside a buttercup, that's amazing for such a tiny insect
