Looks like some type of micro-moth although its deformed body would make accurate identification dificult. What strikes me is the delicate beauty of its form, having a lovely golden sheen to its body and wings. Take its legs and antenna away and it reminds me of a flying fish.

Its delicate golden sheen can be better appreciated against a cooler blue/grey background.

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.

Denis - I've given up taking sugar in my tea and replaced it with moth supplement.
Linda - I don't feel guilty but I can't help but feel sorry for them, especially as they have such a hard time surviving.
Brian - yes it does look a little like a fossil
