This small moth was found last night (well, early hours of this morning) on the well-lit stairwell of the block of flats I am currently resident of. It has a wingspan of less than 2cm. I found it easy to identify thanks to many prominent markings; the dots on the perimeter of the wings, the relatively central dots on each hind- and forewing, and of course the big blotch of colour spreading across a great deal of the forewing.
