Hi Nikita, Yeah, I think you indeed have O. florum this time, but to my opinion O. punctella is a much more interesting species  .Normally O. florum is a bit larger (according to Drake (1993) female 4.5-5.75 mm and male 3.75-4.5 mm) than O. punctella (according to Drake (1993) female 3.3 mm, male 3.15 mm). Ofcourse there is a little more variation in the size of O. punctella, but my experience is also that it is normally distinctly smaller than the average O. florum.
