Moth - Ypsolopha canariella
Ellensburg, Kittitas County, Washington, USA
August 22, 2017
When I first saw it I assumed itwas Ypsolopha canariella but after looking thru some photos I noticed it looks a lot like Ypsolopha dentiferella. Found along North Fork Teanaway River. What do you think?

Ypsolopha canariella
Well. Maybe this really is Ypsolopha canariella. I will post another photo I took the same night which looks really close except it is much lighter. Sorry, I don't know how to add pictures in the comment section.
