Superb
A good case of a photo that probably would have gone unidentified for some time without DNA identification. (no rsvp, thanks)

 
You are right on Bob ...
It is one of several species from here disclosed with the DNA. Acleris lipsiana and Acleris britannia are two examples posted today. Thanks for encouraging me to start this about a year ago. Since that time have had DNA run on close to 1500 specimens .. and still await the results on many and the time to work through them all.

You got a rsvp anyway...
