Nematopogon robertella ?? A bit of a bluff to meet Ferdy's challenge ... Image probably too bad for ID. I would think it to look more like Nematopogon pilella, but that one is very rare in NL. Obsidentify suggested N. robertella and that would fit the location (lots of Pine trees there). But with my luck it's probably just Adela reamurella ;o) Adelidae,Geotagged,Nematopogon,Nematopogon robertella,Netherlands,nl: Naaldboslangsprietmot Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro
