Little yellow Moth - Tortricidia flexuosa
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
August 7, 2007
Size: 1/5-1/4 inch?
Leaving your porch lights on during summer nights can bring you a surprising array of moths.
I haven't the vaguest idea what any of them are.

Moved
Moved from Tortricidia.

Slug caterpillar moth
Check out the ones in the guide.

 
Wait...
...So THAT'S a slug moth? >;
It's so tiny...

It's probably an abbreviated button slug.
I've seen caterpillars very similar to the ones shown.
plus the faint markings would seem to put it with those shown.
