Coleophora rupestrella 1285 - Coleophora rupestrella

Size: wingspan ± 13 mm
RWWC1525-15 nearest match is with Coleophora rupestrella. 96 to 99% in about 10 specimens. Like some other Coleophora seems to be quite a variation in percent match … perhaps due to the rare occurance over large geographic areas in US
Locality: Coastal SW Washington State at the edge of Willapa Bay geo:lat=46 37.273 geo:lon=-123 56.814
Secpnd specimen from here. MPG shows only four specimens from NA.
