Lettuce Tortrix Eucosma conterminana

Formerly given the vernacular name Pale Lettuce Bell.

This species has dramatically increased in recent years, at least here in Norfolk where it first turned up in my garden in 2022.

Although identification based on external characters seems to be reasonably straightforward I gen detted my first to remove any doubt. I presume I took photos of the genitalia but annoyingly I can't find them.
