Ailanthus Webworm Moth - Atteva punctella
Saint Louis, Saint Louis City County, Missouri, USA
July 20, 2007
Size: 13 mm
This one was "sleeping" on the window of the back door. It would rest with antennae tucked to its side until I prodded - then the antennae would spring out. Then it quickly went back to "sleep". Here is a picture of it "sleeping".
