The Green Long-horn Moth Adela reaumurella is a daytime flying moth usually found in gardens and parks in May-June. Like many moths it is quite tiny, only around a centimeter in length, however, the antennae can be several times the length of the wings, hence its name. They have characteristic metallic green wings.
