What a long antennae for such a small moth !

This should be the Yellow V Moth Oinophila v-flavum, a clothes moth home to Great Britain; now found along coastal areas of California.

I'm not an expert, but I see no reason to doubt the ID... and I see now that this image has made it onto the MPG page.
