If it is found in England for sure in Netherlands can be found too! ;)

Hi Injica,

Thx for the suggestion. I'm not sure I'll follow youre suggestion since Adela rufimitrella does not seem to appear in this region (although Cauchas rufimitrella does, but this species looks slightly different). Could it be that the length of the antennae is gender specific, being much longer for males? Possibly its also a nomenclature issue, I'm not certain.

Cheers,
Peter
