Hello,

Could someone put a name to this moth please - seen in France. Sorry about the size of the photo.

Hi Chris. as you say the size of the pic doesn't help. Possibles are: - Borkhausenia minutella (Oecophoridae); Syncopacma sp. (Gelchiidae) or a very outside bet of Elegia similella (Pyralidae). Can you know big it was? (length in mm).
