Thank you moderators and Christine. The detail of the dandelion florets is spectacular.

I think 2 dorsal patches and 7 white streaks on the forewing costa = G. chrysoplanetis.
But I wish there was only one Glyphipterix sp. (genus) in the suggestion list.

What never ceases to amaze me is the diversity you're alluding to Don as it probably means each species has evolved for such a specific niche or in separated places.
