Help With Micro ID Please:
Marple - 14 July 2017
Marple - 14 July 2017
The attached came to a light trap in Marple last night (14/07/2017). I think it is some sort of Gelechid - possibly a Bryotropha sp. I also have a dorsal view (out of focus) on which 3 or 4 blackish spots are discernable in outer half of wing. It was very small but flew before I could measure it. Is it possible to assign a name ?

Hi There,

Perhaps Bryotropha affinis ?

Cheers,
Steve
