Natural Science Forum / Biology / Entomology / July 2008Little butterflies in my home
First of all, excuse me for my bad English. Could you help to recognize those little insects that are infesting my home in these days? http://img246.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p1010623qv8.jpg I think they don't come from cereals and pasta, can you help me?

Hi, Maybe Tortricidae family. http://www.tortricidae.com/morphology.asp http://www.ukmoths.org.uk/systematic.php#Tortricidae Most of them are agricultural's pests. With your picture, we can't really tell you what they are. @+ >>> First of all, excuse me for my bad English. >>> Could you help to recognize those little insects that are infesting my [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > @+ Thank you, the information you gave is a start point. I will do a deeper research. Bye Antonio > Hello, can anybody help me? It's no Tortricidae, but a moth of the family Gelechiidae, genus Bryotropha, most probably B. senectella (if from Europe - assumed Italy). P.S.: It's always a good idea to give at least rudimental information about the finding location (in North America or Asia this could be a totally different species...), size, habitat around etc. There are thousands of moth species in the world, many of them resembling others (and many of them only identifiable by microscopical examination).

Yes, I found the moth in Italy; I'm not an expert, so I have not thought of giving other information; anyway its length is about 10 mm and is infesting my house for some weeks. Thank you very much.
