Help With Micro ID Requested Please .....:

I have had several of these beauties but I am struggling with their ID. I have had a few thoughts - Crambidae - Chrysoteuchia culmella, or Agriphilia inquinatella or Agriphilia geniculea.
Any help would be fabulous thanks.

Hi there,

Yes, Chrysoteuchia culmella. The other two are distinctly more well marked and lack the shining gilt edge of culmella.

Cheers,
Steve
