Casebearer Moth
Copyright © 2007 Cotinis

Casebearer Moth
Duke Forest, off of Hwy 751, Orange County, North Carolina, USA
August 25, 2007
Size: 10 mm WS
Found at a lighted sheet in a woodland habitat. Body length about 4 mm, wingspan perhaps 10 mm or so. Looks like a casebearer moth (Coleophoridae), perhaps, but I don't see any quite like it here.

Moved to family level
Moved from Moths. I'll put this at family level, based on comments below--thanks, Terry.

Case-bearer moth
Yes, this looks like a coleophorid, although I can't say which species.
