Scrobipalpa artemisiella
Thyme Moth

(Treitschke, 1833)820 / 35.120

Can be found where the foodplant wild thyme grows but stated to occur in sandhills and limestone habitats. Being one of the smallest members of the family, although variable in wing markings, can usually be identified without reference to genitalia. (MBGBI Vol 4(2) p180)

Small size should separate from other Scrobipalpa of which it could be easily confused with.
