Apodia bifractella
Species account from Moths of Glamorgan (Gilmore, Slade & Stewart, 2009):
The orange head makes this small dark gelechiid one of the more recognisable of the group. Widely distributed in the county, and probably fairly common. The larvae feed in the seed heads of Common Fleabane, Ploughman's Spikenard, and Sea Aster.
