Hi Barry,

A Coleophora species, possibly C.albicosta.

Cheers,
Steve

Yes to Coleophora albicosta, one of the few from this group which can be determined from a photo.

Ahh ! Does that mean this one from my trap this morning can be safely recorded as C.albicosta too ?
(I had it down as yet another unidentifiable Coleophora).

Cheers,
Paul

Yes Paul, I can just about see enough of the markings to call it C.albicosta.
