Otherwise known as Alabonia geoffrella or perhaps Geoffroy's Goodwing...
I look forward each year to the time when this moth is on the wing, it is just such a stunning moth.
I like the interpretation of the Generic name by Emmet - "good wing", which is written with the caveat that its formulation is so unusual as to cast doubt on this interpretation. I for one wouldn't disagree that it has good wings!
