Size: 1/2 inch app.

These little moths seem to be everywhere in the grass at present. I would appreciate any help with ID.

Moth

Thanks John and Jane, I find my moth has a paler look than most of the others with the exception of Crambus bidens, although I noted that it occurs more in the area of bogs. But it is the one that most looks like mine.

Common Grass-veneer

These are common in southern Ontario but I didn't realize until today that BugGuide had no species page, so I made one here

Robin, can you identify any of the following to species?

They are sitting at various levels in the higher hierarchy of moths, but none has made it down even to the genus page yet, let alone species!
