UK Status Resident. Nat. Scarce B Montgomeryshire Status A 'Nationally Scarce B' species. This very small macro is easily overlooked as a micro moth. Seemingly quite a local species, probably due to its foodplant, which isn't actually known at this time, but it is associated with wet areas. It has been recorded from a few scattered sites throughout the county, mainly in the west. Wingspan : M & F, 14-15mm. Confusion species White-line Snout, and, because of its small size, it is often confused with micro moths. |
