@WendyEM How do you differentiate between L. argophracta L. oxysema? They seem very similar especially when they are so small and disinclined to sit still.

on BOLD (Hobern) they seem very different https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimens.php?taxid=372900 https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimens.php?taxid=372797 Where are you looking at them? OK I just looked at iNat. I use iNat as a guide but check/confirm things on BOLD which are Museum specimens.

Unlike this specimen : L. oxysema on BOLD has no white line along the forewing hind margin, and does have some dark spots.

Houston, we have a problem. An identical moth to this [ Sighting 4646084 ] has been IDed as Elachista flammula see https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimen.php?processid=ANICW1769-11 https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimens.php?taxid=326537 sadly there are aspects of both that don't quite fit with the 2 live specimen records. I need to do some more research on this.
