moth on lupine leaflet - Adela caeruleella
Worcester County, Maryland, USA
May 19, 2011
A small moth resting on a lupine leaflet. The leaflet is probably about 1cm wide, so the moth must be similar in size. Habitat a loblolly pine plantation. Such peculiar antennae, almost like a candle with a wick.

Thanks Charlie, it looks like the other photos. I would be excited, it would be the first photo from Maryland :-)
