It looks like a moth but it's actually a butterfly! This is a skipper, in the family Hesperidae. Skippers can be tricky to ID with confidence ... let's see what Suzi Bond thinks.

Oh wow! I had no idea that butterflies could be so tiny. Skipper seems to fit as a name, it was certainly quite fast moving from grass blade to grass blade!
