Micro query
Might this tiny little scrap be Monopis weaverella? That's the nearest in the Micro Bible to my, not very reliable, eyes. Eggbox below, to give some idea of tiny-ness. Many thanks in anticipation. Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon
Hi Martin, Indeed, I'd say that is Monopis weaverella. It can sometimes be a bit subjective trying to separate this species from M.laevigella (which is equally as common) but your example has a very obvious triangular whitish area at the tornus.
