Yesterday this very learned and well-read insect paid us a visit.
I have no idea what her proper Latin name is but I'm sure it starts with Prof. She certainly has a lovely funny moth-face with fine and elegant antennea. Quite small - about 1.8cm long.
After the photo session I took Prof. Moth out to the garden and encouraged her onto some wood which was more suited to her lovely camouflage outfit than our vintage letter-holder.

Wonderful to be able to put a name to that face :-)
