Moved
Moved from Agonopterix.

I'd forgotten about my proposed ID, but Steven Whitebread just arrived at the same ID here.
If Senecio spp. are the only hosts of A. canadensis, that would be an argument against that species, since there isn't any Senecio near my house. Plenty of Apiaceae spp. though (especially wild carrot; some golden alexanders, etc.).
