Curved-horn Moth

Gelechioidea is the superfamily of moths that contains the case-bearers, twirler moths, and relatives, also simply called curved-horn moths or gelechioid moths. It is a large and poorly understood '"micromoth" superfamily, constituting one of the basal lineages of the Ditrysia.

Hi everyone, I put Gelechioidea in the species finder but it doesn't turn out any result, anyone knows how do I identify this species? Thanks :-) Posted 4 years ago

  You need to get to species level to attach an ID to an image. It's OK to leave things unidentified. People in the community will try to help, but sometimes there just isn't enough documentation or too many look-alike species to get to a solid ID.
  
  I'm not great with moths, but I'd suggest trying Gracillariidae (Leaf Blotch Miner moths) - they have tall front legs like yours. Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
