Triaxomasia caprimulgella is a moth of the family Tineidae. It found in most of Europe, except Ireland, Luxembourg, Spain, Finland, the Baltic region, and the central part of the Balkan Peninsula. [1] [2]
The wingspan is 9–11 mm. The forewings are brown, with an indistinct yellowish fascia a little before the middle, a triangular yellowish spot on the inner margin towards the anal angle and three smaller yellowish spots on the costa. The hindwings are purplish. [3]
The larvae possibly feed on rotting wood or possibly dead insects. [4]
