Exoteleia dodecella

 I`d very casually checked pine needles for Exotelia dodecella before, but failed. This afternoon, on a short walk, I  glanced at  some needles of Scot`s pine and spotted the mine that it makes within such needles. I offer some poor photos below - it`s so slim and tiny and I was in a rush. The photos show the exit hole through which frass is ejected and a blurry photo of the reddish brown larva. The latter I had gently pushed out to be visible and had compacted itself into a `curled` position.

Another species also feeds within pine needles. It is Cedestis subfasciella but that moth has green larvae.
