Coleophora vitisella

Records suggest that only once in fifty years is someone mad enough to hike up to the cowberry and scrabble about (on hands and knees) to find this distinctive micromoth larva. On Tuesday 23rd April 2013 I was that man, getting surprisingly sunburnt in what seemed like a howling gale on Barden Moor, VC64.
