A mint moth (Pyrausta aurata) in the back graden

I took a while to get going this morning, and enjoyed a long soak in a hot bath for the first time in ages.  The sun shone and warmed us up and made the garden look beautiful.

I went to fill up the bird feeders and as I pottered about doing some dead-heading, I noticed a tiny pretty colourful moth on the red salvia flowers.  I'd never noticed it before, so quickly went to get my camera and found the moth hadn't moved.  But as soon as I pointed the lens at it, off it flew.  It is only about half an inch across when its wings are spread out as it backed on the leaf.  I then spotted several flitting about from leaf to leaf and started a chase around the patio flowers.

Eventually I managed to get a reasonable shot and when checking google to try to identify it, I find it is quite common and called a mint moth (Pyrausta aurata).  In fact although it likes mint, which we have a few varieties growing in the garden, I think it was actually more attracted by the marjoram, according to the wiki information:

The mint moth (Pyrausta aurata) is a small moth from the family Crambidae. In the UK, it has two broods; in May/June, and July/August. It flies both at day and at night.
The purplish-brown wings have a span from 10 to 15 millimetres, and a single golden yellow spot on each overwing and underwing. The moth is very similar to the related Pyrausta purpuralis, a slightly larger moth with a larger number of yellow spots.
As the name suggests, the mint moth often uses mint as a food plant, though it can also be found on other species such as marjoram. In north-west Europe it can be seen from April until the end of September and is capable of having two generations in each season.
