Metallic Coleophora Moth
Coleophora mayrella

Observation date: June 24, 2025
Submitted by: SWilliams
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I think this is C. deauratella or C.mayrella but I'm not sure if these can be separated without larval cases. I can't see black and white rings on the antennae which rules out C.trifoli.
Status: Resident
Verified by: Sue Gregoire
Verified date: June 26, 2025
Coordinator notes: Judging from the length of the thickened part of the antennae I would go for C. mayrella, but with caution.
