Coleophora caespititiella (Zeller, 1839) 
Another typically plain looking Coleophorid, with just a handful of known sites in Nottinghamshire. The larval case can be found on various Juncus (Rushes) and in all likelihood, this species is probably very much under-recorded. The moth below, was one of many trapped at Gamston Wood in June 2025, and later determined by the county recorder Martin Gray, through genitalia determination (gen det).
