I am struggling with the 2 Mompha species found in my garden, they are probably just Mompha subbistrigella, but one is very colourful for that particular species.

The Mompha species look like "subbistrigella", but then again "sturnipennella" is very similar
ReplyDeleteThanks Trent, I think they are both well-marked subbistrigella's
