Toadflax Brocade, and a Coleophora query

For those of you with purple toadflax in your garden or nearby, now is the time to look out for Toadflax Brocade caterpillars. I have seen 8 individuals in my garden so far.

I have saved the Coleophora below for Peter, but I thought I would post a picture, just in case it is identifiable.

    Hi Steve,

    It is difficult to work out if your Coleophora is one of the whitish ones (like anatipennella) or perhaps something like betulella which has lost a lot of scales. I'd definitely hang on to it if you want a confirmed ID!
