Mompha jurassicella

 Found indoors yesterday, I am pretty confident that this is Mompha jurassicella, rather than bradleyi/divisella. It is dull overall; the basal area is dull yellowish brown not white or whitish, and the pale cross-band at 3/4 is faint and broken in the middle. And, FWIW, I had one here, gen det by Peter, on 22 Feb last year.
I have retained it just in case, but I'm rather assuming that gen det won't be needed.

Thanks

Phil

    Hi Phil,
    Probably clearer in the flesh, but it is difficult to tell from those images where it looks as though it may have lost a lot of scales.

    Thanks Dave,
    I think I'll get it checked then, just to be sure.
