Plume moth from goldenrod

Plume moth from goldenrod "stump" - Hellinsia glenni
Battle Bluff Prairie SNA, Vernon County, Wisconsin, USA
April 11, 2017
Top end of goldenrod stump from which adult moth emerged. Before pupating, the larva chewed this hole in the stump's frass cap, creating an escape route for the adult.

Compare with this goldenrod stump



collected in March, when the overwintering larva inside was still dormant and had not yet chewed a hole in the frass cap in preparation for pupation
