Elachista nucula is a moth of the family Elachistidae that is found in Colorado and Utah.[1]

The length of the forewings is 5–5.1 millimetres (0.20–0.20 in). The ground colour of the forewings is white with a few greyish brown scales forming an indistinct spot in the middle of the wing at the fold and another at 2/3 of the wing. The hindwings are light yellowish grey and translucent. The underside of the wings is brownish grey.

Etymology

The species name is derived from Latin nucula (meaning kernel).

gollark: Wow, I say anyway lots.

gollark: Anyway, while this is at least better than passing all data through entirely unauditable serverside filters, I don't think it's very good.

gollark: Fascinating.

gollark: Four dots? Wow.

gollark: Even if you reverse-engineer where it gets the hashes from and how it operates, by the nature of the thing you couldn't work out what was being detected without already having samples of it in the first place.
