Very small micros

 I am wondering whether these are two male and a female Elachista canapenella. Tiny, with FL ~4-4.5 mm. Came to light.




Thanks

    Hi Phil,
    I'd say the third image was a male Elachista canapennella (they are the plain ones and it is actually the females which have more in the way of markings). The other two are Elachista species but I don't think I can be sure of either from those pictures. Worth getting them inspected by Peter.
