Chaetarthria seminulum (Herbst, 1797) 
This tiny species has an unusual UK distribution, with the majority of records coming from Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire, where it has single-handedly been proved to be widespread through Bob Merritt's much missed and quite remarkable, surveying and recording work. The one below, turned up in a wet moss sample taken from the edge of a pond at Warsop Main Pit Top in April 2020.
