Euzophera pinguis – Quite an unmistakable micro-moth with distinctive zig-zag markings. The larvae feed under the living bark of ash, which if becoming infested may kill the tree. This is a localised species in England.

It is amazing that such a small and beautiful creature can fell big trees.
Seeing what is happening now it reminds me of one small bacteria
can cause so much harm. Nations at a stand still, people falling…
Nature is an ever mysterious phenomenon.

Some of the common names are only used locally, and then they catch on and are used elsewhere.

These teeny beings look very familiar. Funny to think they can cause destruction. The moth is mightier than the sword.
