Here's an under-recorded micro to look for at the moment. It's Metriotes lutarea and the larval foodplant is Stellaria holostea (greater stitchwort). Good places to look are deciduous woodland, like in the photo below, or nice lanes. You can find adults sat round on the flowers. Sweeping can also reveal them if they're not in obvious view.
