May micro

I recently came across an old photo (not assigned) from May 2022 (Stoke Goldington). Whereas it is reminiscent of a dark Elachista utonella, perhaps, but the face is rather hairy, and the antennae erect. Is it even a moth?

    Hello Keith,
    It is certainly a moth! That's a rather nice image of Bucculatrix nigricomella.

    Cheers Dave. Another one not illustrated in my edition of Sterling and Parsons - and a garden tick to boot!
