Argyresthia spinosella
Species account from Moths of Glamorgan
Probably found throughout the county, but currently restricted to pockets of records in the extremes of the county. The larvae feed in the flowering shoots of Blackthorn. Smaller than the similar Argyresthia conjugella, and lacking the ochreous tinge of that species.
