Pennsylvania Moth for ID - Hypatopa vestaliella Off Rt. 183 near Appalachian Trail, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA July 6, 2016 Size: 8-10mm
On a sheet with UV black light. I have recalled seeing this species only the last 2 seasons, perhaps at least a dozen times. It has defied ID. I have seen it at home and in various places in the county. I don't know, it seems a have a peculiar quality of being some introduced or invasive species.
