About Glyphipterix thrasonella Scopoli, 1763
Glyphipterix thrasonella is a species of moth belonging to the family Glyphipterigidae. This moth is found in the western region of the Palaearctic realm. It has a wingspan measuring 11–15 mm. Its forewings are a shiny bronzy color, and sometimes carry a coppery tinge. Between one-third of the wing length and the apex, six faint golden metallic transverse streaks extend from the costa; one or two additional similar streaks extend from the dorsum in the posterior section of the wing, and all of these streaks can sometimes be completely absent. The moth has a violet-black mark on the tornus, which encloses two or three golden metallic dots, with a similar golden metallic dot positioned above this mark. In some cases, there are also two or three fine black dashes above this marking. A dark blackish spot is present at the apex, and the dark line of the wing cilia is indented below the apex. The hindwings are a dark fuscous color. Adult moths are active in flight from May through August. The larvae of this species are thought to feed on plants of the Juncus genus.
