Tiny micro, can it be identified?
We have not been putting the trap out but have found white ermine and peppered moth larvae. A cocoon found on hawthorn has today produced a nice male vapourer moth. On our hazel tree we found two Phyllonorycter coryli moths plus a tiny micro we can't name. The hazel tree is close to a hawthorn hedge and under an oak tree. Any help with even species would be helpful . Thanks Bob & Helen

Can we record this as a species or is it best to just ignore it. Thanks Helen & Bob
Re: Tiny micro, can it be identified?
My best guess would be Elachista canapennella but it would need dissecting to be sure

Thanks Steve, you did dissect one for us in 2019. Will record as micro possibly Elachista cannapennella. Bob & Helen
