Hey Fyn! From my observations Crambus albellus lacks the two spots in the middle of the forewing, where as Microcrambus biguttellus can have them or not, but when they are present, it is a diagnostic feature. Here is a C. albellus I found: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/32163069 Here is a M. biguttellus I found: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/32237056
