The antennae of this moth each seem to be about half the length of the forewing. The antennae of Adelidae are each longer than the full length of a forewing.

Is there anything you would like to see on this moth for ease of ID? There are a few about (or have been) so I can take more photos but I need to know what to focus on.

Yes, that would be terrific.. Side-on view? Hindwings perhaps. Close-up o head and mouthparts?

Will give it a try next time I see one. Recently they have been haunting the windows and light switches most mornings. But it is very small.

except there is more speckling and it is finer. LOTS more to learn about Psychids
