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).

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.
