#microlepidoptera

[bryoinformatics]

First leafminer moth I manage to pin without breaking anything! Phyllonorycter I think. I'll be asking around the microlep people I know to see if I can get help for a species level ID, these guys tend to require DNA for that.

I've done other microleps but these guys are the true hardmode

Then next to some other little guys I doublemounted. The Dialictus is a little banged up but should still be an acceptable specimen

May we be as beautiful and ferocious as this majestic tiny micromoth this week.
