Nemophora metallica - one of the Longhorns

A new visitor to the moth trap last night Nemophora metallica. One of the Longhorn family, easy to see where the name comes from! 
Not sure of the status in Derbyshire, its described as very local nationally and the map doesn't include Derbyshire but I suspect there are records in the South of the County. I caught the Grass Rivulet, which is also a limestone grassland species, last night.
