User's notes
A mix of different Sedge moths was sighted on this and surrouding flowers. This particular flower appeared to include what I assume to be Glyphipterix chrysoplanetis and Glyphipterix meteora. Close inspection of the moths showed pollen grains attached to them as can be seen in some of the images.
