Caloptilia rufipennella

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

When it was first recorded in 1997, it was new to Wales, but has since spread rapidly west, arriving on Gower in 2000. Now firmly established in the east of the county. The adults can be found on the wing throughout the year, and the larvae fold the corners of Sycamore leaves and those of other Acer species.
