Micro ID Help:

I always find these difficult. Anyone give me a pointer on this Gracillariidae sp. trapped in my garden on 16/04/2017 ?

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Maybe Caloptilia elongella or C.betulicola, which need dissecting to determine.

Steve

OK, thanks Steve.

I'll record it as "Unidentified micro lepidoptera species" with a note.
