Micro For ID

Post by bobhelencoan »

Micro For ID:

We had 2 of these little moths in the trap last night. We think they could be either a female Elachista canapennella or Elachista freyerella.

Any help much appreciated.

Hi Bob & Helen,

More likely a Mompha species with such a flat profile, though I can't say which.

Cheers,
Steve
