Thanks. My secret is out. I’m very much an amateur who gets lucky. Also now very interested in seeing what the moderator thinks.
I did try to change it to Lepidoptera but would have lost all the data and more importantly Wendy’s suggestion so I’ll just have to wait.

See also 4660933 which features the flower Coronidium genus, rather than the moth on it. It’s 2 slightly clearer photos of this moth. The short parallel black bars that I read are distinctive for Glyphipterix Asteriella (suggested by WendyEM above) are more obvious I think.
