Caloptilia betulicola

Species account from Moths of Glamorgan
(Gilmore, Slade & Stewart, 2009):

The adults are very similar in appearance to C. elongella, but they have obviously white patches at the base of the legs. The larvae feed on birch. The widely separated records suggest a well distributed species in Glamorgan.
