Eucalybites auroguttella

Eucalybites auroguttella is an attractive little moth that has been recorded across much of southern and central Suffolk. The larva mine the leaves of St John’s-wort (Hypericum), subsequently living within a leaf-cone. The adult pictured below emerged today from a cone that I collected from Wolves Wood RSPB reserve earlier this month.
