Beetle (?) on dogbane - Atteva punctella
Waynesboro, Augusta County, Virginia, USA
July 3, 2007
I found this beetle (?) feeding on dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum)in an open field near my home.

Could someone identify it, please?

Thanks!

what are you doing
IDing it 2 minutes after he posted it? It's clearly much more dignified to wait four minutes :P

Don't be difficult...
Yours has a pretty thumbnail, so that counts for at least a couple of minutes. Just take your moral victory and let him have his 2 minutes...
