From fungus on dead Birch. Allerød Denmark.App. 1,5 cm. Sep. 9 2012. Scardia boletella? It really look like boletella; the only snag. boletella isn't known from Denmark.

S. boletella is most probably OK, so a new record, it's not so unusual (especially when it's not Papilionidae or something like that).
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.
Hi Dmitry. I've been absent from Dipterea for a while so a very tardy reply. Thanks for .... almost .... confirming boletella. Tried to hatch a specimen from the fungi but didn't succeed. Also looked for signs for more larvae; found lots of frass but no holes or hatched puppae. So this one remains a "perhaps-boletella". Merry Christmas.
