Carpatolechia query
Is this Carpatolechia proximella? It doesn't quite seem to match the description in the Field Guide, but proximella does seem the best fit. Thanks Phil T
Hello Phil, Probably way off the mark, but a very worn Blastobasis adustella was what crossed my mind when I saw your image. I can't make it fit any of the Carpatolechia species.
Hello Phil,

Ah yes, that could be it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil
I have had similar, which amongst the more common and very dark adustella look very different. I keep one occasionally for dissection!
