Moved
Moved from Frass to Eucosmini.

Quite sure it's in this tribe; looks a lot like some of the moths on this MPG page such as Proteoteras, Pseudexentera, or Gretchena, but not exactly like any species pictured. I've searched extensively for a match to this one; it's possible that there are no identified photos of this species on the web.

Archips dissitana has three black blotches along the costa and a wedge-shaped patch along the outer margin - a different pattern than seen here.

Frassed
Moved from Moths.

I think this is Archips dissitana. Take a look here.

Robin - I'm trying to help out clean up the "Moths" section starting at the back end. If I don't think the photo will be useful, I'm placing them in Frass with my best guess. Move them if you disagree. I welcome your suggestions. The way it is now, a user would have to browse over 3000 photos to get the ones at the back end so they have very little value there.
