I have this one waiting out the back to be photographed. I would put mine at just over 12mm . Also the segment behind the head on Limnaecia camptosema is pale yellow rather than whiteish so maybe some more research ....

I'm not sure. Also, I'm really bad with sizes. Never trust my size estimates ;-)

I keep a ruler on my table and if the moth is cooperative!! I can line them up. Just photographed mine and it is a different one.
