Bryotropha senectella

(Zeller, 1839)

---

One of several rather similar Bryotropha species, most of which, including this one, feed on mosses.

It is widely distributed over much of the British Isles, and frequents a range of habitats where the foodplants occur.

The adults are on the wing in July and August, and fly mainly at night.
