Small Feathery Moth - Alucita
Lucky Lake, Southern, Saskatchewan, Canada

Size: 8 - 10 mm
We headed down to the farm on the weekend and I found a couple of these small moths in the house. They are such delicate fliers. Any Ideas?

Moved from ID Request. Based on the Balabans comment.

I noticed that all the photos of these moths in the guide are with wings open. Are they truly like the less 'feathered' Plume moths that always have their wings outstretched?
