Does anyone know which micro-moth this might be? Seen on 3rd May 2008 in southern England - about 3mm long.

Hello Chris. It could be Micropterix tunbergella, but it might be best to wait for an expert like Martin Harvey to confirm. Tony. |

I'd go along with an expert like Tony Towner - Micropteryx tunbergella. You weren't in Berkshire were you? No Berks record since 1996! Martin Martin Harvey |
