Gorse Crest (Brachmia blandella)

 

Brachmia is a genus of moths in the Gelechiidae family. They are typical of the Gelechiidae family, with larvae that are concealed feeders on plants. The are small in size usually with wingspans of 8–15 mm. Brachmia species often have indistinct wing markings, making them hard to separate from related genera (like Dichomeris), as such identification to species level usually requires microscopic examination, as they are externally very similar and understated.
