Thanks Bob!!!

We've Both Had This One Before.......
....but, as usually, your photos look better than mine!

2441 -- Argyresthia Moth -- Argyresthia austerella

 
difference from A. oreasella?
I looked at photos of Argyresthia oreasella (Cherry Shoot Borer) here: [1, 2, 3] and photos of A. austerella here: [1, 2] but didn't notice any obvious differences.

Do you know what distinguishes these two species?
