Moved to Tinea niveocapitella
Moved from Clothes Moths.

Tentative ID based on original description and similarity to BOLD images. Looking at BOLD BIN clusters, it appears that T. niveocapitella may be a complex which includes T. occidentella. There are at least 4 BIN clusters and BOLD:ABX2540, which has only one example from just south of Olympia, is more pale like yours.

Moved
Moved from Moths.

ID'd on MPG as Tineidae.

Sure looks a lot like Tinea occidentella.
