Found a teeny-weeny little moth on the lobelia outside my patio doors.  Looked it up online and discovered it's a "mint moth" or pyrausta aurata.  It was about ½ inch across (12-15 mm).  Reckon it was eyeing up my mint as a possible creche, I shall be looking out for miniscule caterpillars over the next few weeks!
