We checked out the background of the moth sheet images to see if there was anything else interesting in focus and found these. Don't know if any of these are useful or not. Feel free to frass if that's what they deserve. gathering_2015

Moved
Moved from Cosmopterix. Cosmopterix scirpicola and C. ebriola are externally identical, but have a more southern range.

Moved
Moved from ID Request. Terry beat me to it... But if anyone deserves to do micro IDs, it's Terry. Just saw my first Cosmopterix the other day...

Cosmopterix
This is definitely a Cosmopterix (Cosmopterigidae), but I don't know which one.
