It was seen to be fed upon thistle plant (Cirsium arvense).
Location: Central European Russia, cereal crops.

Check this out: Key to leaf-feeding micro-moth larvae on creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense). Compiled by Ian F. Smith!

Edit: ... but on the other hand, this is probably a macro-moth, not a micro-moth. Ahh, well ...

I think some Idaea sp. (Geometridae), like I. biselata.
