I found this moth with tiny wings being attacked by a small green spider while weeding in the Watson Green Space.

Assuming moth attacked as just emerged, with wings unexpanded, and dislocated in struggles with the spider.

forewing pattern hard to discern, but: row of white marks along apical end of the costa, marginal arc of pale yellow dots and submarginal arc of pale yellow chevrons.
