    I think it's a micro moth called Ancylis badiana, there are a few photos online if you search Google Images, this link will take you to a photo showing the beastie in a similar position to the one in your photo http://northeastwildlife.co.uk/gallery/albums/fauna/moths/Ancylis%20Badiana/ancylis-badiana-00001.jpg
