Euzophera cinerosella
(Zeller, 1839)

A species which until fairly recently was found only scarcely in the southern half of England and Wales, but has now extended its range and is occasionally found northwards into Yorkshire.

The moths are on the wing from May to August, and can be attracted to light.
