2 - Heliozela sp. It is necessary to cook. And look for mines with holes, they are characteristic, look at the Germans.

This is a new family for me.
I looked at the Germans. Yes, mines are not quite ordinary.
I think it's Heliozela hammoniella.
The Germans have 7 species in the family, three of them are similar.
1 Heliozela sericiella disappears due to horse size, 7.5-8 mm wingspan and mines oak.
2 Heliozela resplendella mines alder trees that never existed on the peat bog itself. Also disappears.
3 Remains Heliozela hammoniella which mines birch and which young growth is full in the swamp, the wingspan is 5 mm., which is also quite suitable see the photo with the ruler.
I do not know if there are other similar types.

Well, I wouldn't cut them off in size like that-they can be born skinny.
But there is really no oak in Poplar =)
But there are plenty of alders on the edge, as I remember. So it could have been recorded. Although, of course, the birch version is the most plausible.
H. resplendella and H. hammoniella are omitted for the 8th region in the Catalog, although they were indicated by the Germans in 1944 from the Smolensk region (found the time

) .
