Attached is an image of a small micro reared from Prunus laurocerasus from material in a nursery in Oregon. It is black with a small pale spot on the hind margin of the forewing. The larvae prepare a pupal chamber from two oval pieces cut from a leaf of the host. The moth appears to me to be a tineid, but I am not aware of this behavior in Tineidae. Please help if you know anything about these. TIA
Tom
