Dear All,

Can anybody help me with this micro which was in the trap last night. It is a fraction over 5mm wing length.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Tim,

Possibly Elachista canapennella.

Regards,
Steve

Thanks Steve.

Having taken a further look at the moth, I think that E.canapennella is very probable.

Thanks again,
Tim
