 @10621173 Still not totally convinced that this is Phereoeca and not Tinea pellionella or another related moth. The former seems to have a black (or very dark) top of all three thoracic segments, whereas yours has less dark marks only on the first two.

There's only 1 GBIF record for 🇵🇭 which comes from #iNaturalist, and with less well-recorded taxa there's a danger that the suggestions are biased by early observations (see this a lot in 🇬🇧).

Family level though is a very safe ID.
