Elachista humilis

Description
The wingspan is. Adults are on wing from May to July. There are two generations per year. The head is grey, face whitish. Forewings light grey irrorated with dark fuscous; a very indistinct oblique whitish fascia before middle, usually partly or wholly obsolete; a small tornal spot and larger triangular spot on costa somewhat beyond it ochreous-white. Hindwings are grey.
Biology
Larvae have been recorded on bent, sweet vernal grass, sedge, tufted hairgrass, fescue, Yorkshire fog, reed canary grass and smooth meadow-grass, but tufted hairgrass is the main hostplant. The other host plants are not all equally trustworthy because of possible confusion with Elachista canapennella.
Distribution
It is found in most of Europe, except the Iberian Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula.
