False Veneer Catoptria falsella

Because of the clear and intriguing markings, the False Veneer is an unmistakable species among the Grass Moths. The wingspan is 18 to 22mm. The larvae do not live in grasses, but eat mosses growing on walls. There is one brood a year only, on the wing in July and August. In Britain this is a very local species, widespread in the south, getting scarcer going Northwards
