sleeping beauty - Atteva punctella

September 22, 2009
Taken late at night outside the back door. The lamp casting light has a yellow bulb and so effected the color in the picture. The insect was slightly more yellow.

These are fairly common right now in this area, look for them during the day on Queen Anne's Lace and Goldenrod.
