Sure looks like Acrobasis angusella, but BG does not show them close to TX. MPG does have TX siting though.

According to Ed Knudson, this is mostly likely Acrobasis cirroferella.

Size?
Was the specimen examined or at least measured? I questioned Brian Scholtens as to how other similar species, minimella in particular, might be separated and he replied "Yeah, I'm not sure how he [Ed Knudson] eliminated that either. To me it looks like A. minimella."

Steve
This is one I didn't get a measurement on. We can move to genus level or defer to your/Brian's ID. Your call. It was the only one I ever photographed similar to this. Thanks

It happens... Now you will have to increase my list by at least one when I send you those micros you asked for. Have a dozen or so in the freezer. Can anyone say Blastid...
