White-banded Coleophora sp. - Coleophora
Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, USA
September 5, 2017
Size: 1 cm
Showed up on our kitchen on evening. May have been let in that morning or overnight the night before with the lights having run. Measurement does not include antennae. Perhaps near something like Coleophora cretaticostella (#1283) but looks different, so who knows what it is. :)

OK
I guess I've been nailing them all right at the genus level, so I would feel comfortable doing that. The variety in this genus really impresses me. I wish we had a better understanding of these little guys.

Some yponomeutoids can look similar, but the genus is fairly distinctive. The forward-pointing antennae leave few possibilities.
