Coleophora glaucicolella

    Grey Rush Case-bearer

    ColeophoridaeABH 37.071 B&F 582

    Records show this moth to be fairly common and widespread across the county, but this probably understates the picture. This species is separable only with great difficulty from C. alticolella, and unidentifiable cases of one or other species abound on rushes in damp situations, especially on Exmoor.

    Adult Verification Grade: 4

    Case Verification Grade: C4
