Brassy Longhorn moth - Brightwell-cum-Sotwell

For the next few weeks, look out for the Brassy Long-horn (Nemophora metallica) a micromoth with spectacularly long antennae in the males. Females lay their eggs among the flowers of Scabious. See Sue Taylor's blog about the moth and it's hymenopteran parisitoid (Stilbops ruficornis).
