1067 -- White-shouldered House-moth -- Endrosis sarcitrella
... and the first North American photo I have seen of the living moth. Until now we have had to do with a photo from the UK.

So...
A pretty good find then? Could you tell me more about it so I can create a page for it, I don't even know what family it's in!

Use Google to Search on the Species Name....
... I really know nothing about the species except that I just checked a species map which showed distribution only in the West Coast states. A Google Search turns up more than 500 references, many of which are Old World, but which may contain good life history data. There may be entries at Wikipedia and other web resources. This is the only way I know to research a species in the absence of technical publications. Click on the links Google provides, copy to a text file the info you want to capture, and record your sources/links so that you can provide links on your species page for others to follow if they want more information. You might want to consult with others who create species pages at BG.N. Robin McLeod does an especially fine job with pages for moths.
