Moved from Everlasting Tebenna Moth. Agree that this probably does not belong under Tebenna gnaphaliella. Placement in BAMONA under a different species may be also incorrect.

I was kind of hoping that the

I was kind of hoping that the BAMONA id was right. I guess I'll have to wait and see if some kind of key or guide to identifying these to species shows up one day. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information about them online.

Moved from Tebenna. Moved here because it most closely resembles the Tebenna in this species although this may be changed as we get more photos of these moths.

I'm getting confused by these Tebenna moths.

This one is the same observation from BAMONA (http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sighting_details/1018906), but there it's under Tebenna silphiella. I also saw this other moth sighting(http://bugguide.net/node/view/777234/bgpage) that looks very similar under Tebenna carduiella? These two examples both have diagonal orange lines through the largest black area... which I don't see present in the majority of the ones identified as Tebenna gnaphaliella. None of the Tebenna moths are in my moth book and I can't seem to find anything online that explains how to tell them apart. The ones I regularly observe all look the same like this one of mine(http://bugguide.net/node/view/1229807/bgimage), and are almost always found on my Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea) plant. None of them have those orange lines I referenced. Is there more info on identifying these that anyone can share?
