Solidago Eucosma Moth - Pelochrista cataclystiana

Solidago Eucosma Moth - Pelochrista cataclystiana
George Sims Place, Douglas County, Missouri, USA
April 28, 2012
Size: maybe 3/8" - not too big
Came to blacklight at night. Got pretty clear shot from above, but unfortunately no side view. So I don't know if we can tell anything from this. My best guess is some type of Olethreutine Moth such as Epinotia or Ancylis?
