Metallic midget

This tiny (4.5mm f/w) micro was found dead in the trap. As usual I don't know what it is so any help would be appreciated. I was going to keep it but clumsiness made me drop it. Even a hands and knees search on the carpet with a torch failed to find it.

  1. Hello Dave,
    It looks to me like Argyresthia goedartella.

  2. Thanks Dave. I'd got as far as the family. If I'd looked at the photos on the website as well as the book I would probably have got it. A lesson to be learned.
