Swammerdamia?
I think this is Swammerdamia caesiella - it looks like the Swammerdamia I've been calling that sp. here in Alberta. Tho it doesn't look much like several photos on MPG. The specimens I get in AB are somewhat variable in size, but always this basic pattern. Any thoughts from others? I have yet to dissect some to confirm IDs, but I think they barcoded consistently.
