Micro-Moth (I think)

Dave McCormick · Post by **Dave McCormick** » Mon May 18, 2009 10:57 am

I posted this already in May 2009 sightings, but anyone know what this is? Its not very big and they have a white "saddle" like mark across the wings (if you look down on one you see this)

Interesting! It looks rather like Hedya sp. but doesn't match the pictures on UK Moths. I'm looking forward to one of the moth experts identifying it.

Here is the same moth at a different angle, its the only other one I got of this moth, hope this helps more as the other was very close

I'd lean towards Epiblema sp., but the conclusion is the same.

Looks like Epiblema scutulanum.

hmm... I was checking and I don't think its anything that feeds on just rose plants, as there is no roses anywhere in the area I was in. I'll keep looking can't be too hard to find out what this is. Thanks for help anyway.

Larval host plants of E. scutulanum are Carduus and Cirsium.

Hi Dave, Your Moth is a Blastobasis decolorella/lacticolella 874 on UKMOTHS. . Steve
