Acrobasis suavella








Think this is A. suavella, although rather worn, A. advenella would show more reddish around the head?

    Hi Nic,
    I agree that it isn't advenella, although to me it doesn't look quite right for suavella (may just be a factor of how worn it is). Do you have a picture of the other side which you could add, just in case that provides more clues?

    How about Acrobasis consociella?

    Thanks Dave and Nigel, left hand side picture added. Not sure if it'll help much.

    Thanks for adding the extra pictures. Still not 100%, but I'm leaning towards Nigel's suggestion, especially considering the size.

    Thanks very much, the size would seem to favour A.consociella.

    On the mothdissection site the first photo by Andy King looks a good match to me.
