I found this micro-moth on my sheet the other night. I think it's a Coptotriche citrinipennella. Can you confirm? Thanks!

what's needed?
If I encounter this genus again, what anatomical feature would you need to clinch an ID? Or, does it require dissection? I can collect a sample and send it to Cornell for eventual ID.
