Coleophora asteris

Coleophora asteris is an uncommon moth in the UK being found usually within a few miles of its food plant Aster tripolium. Around the area where I live Aster tripolium is a fairly common plant around the coastal bays and estuaries. This moth was trapped a mile inland to a 40W actinic on 20th  August.
