Flying round in the garden yesterday. Closest we can get is Bryotropha terrella but there do not seem to be any black marking. Any other ideas? Thanks Bob & Helen

There are four more micros we think could be Bryotropha terrella. Help to get the ID right would be much appreciated. Bob & Helen

Many thanks Steve. Should we be considering Bryotropha similis or senectella at all? Bob & Helen

You could get Bryotropha senectella which is smaller, more like B. affinis in size but paler brown
