Elachista nubila is a moth of the family Elachistidae that is endemic to Arizona.[1]

The length of the forewings is 4–4.9 millimetres (0.16–0.19 in). The forewings are broad, grey and densely dusted with light brown scales especially along the costa and in the distal half of the wing. The hindwings and underside of the wings are grey. Females are larger and have paler forewings, varying from dirty yellowish white to light greyish brown.

Etymology

The species name is derived from Latin nubilus (meaning gloomy).

gollark: Dale WILL somehow become vectorized.

gollark: Dale is now UTTERLY SIMD-based? How?

gollark: It's a more advanced technical achievement than my things, if about equally useful.

gollark: And then propagate it across the interwebs so ALL post there.

gollark: You could make a new server which is secretly just a "redirect all annoying inquires here" server.
