Unknown Moth - Glyphidocera
Plainsboro Preserve, Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA
June 26, 2016
This moth was found on a night when we put a sheet with CFL lights out on the deck at Plainsboro Preserve. This moth came to the building lights, rather than the sheet. My best guess is that this is some sort of pre-Tortricid micro, but I haven't been able to narrow it down further than that.

Plainsboro Preserve has a variety of habitat including forest, grassland, a leased farm field, and a lake. The site was formerly a farm, and then (briefly) a sand mine.

Glyphidocera septentrionella?
I'm starting to think that this might be Glyphidocera septentrionella.
