Rather than chase a sunset the other night, I spent some time in the garden with the macro lens photographing insects in the warm low light. In particular there were lots of small moths amongst the grass. I know nothing about insects, but after some googling I think the above is Agriphila straminella - one of the most common grass moths in the UK.
