Pyraustine crambid - Anania quebecensis Pine Brook, Isanti County, Minnesota, USA Size: WS (pinned) 19mm
Adult reared from a caterpillar found on cinnamon fern July 30, 2011. Eclosed April 19, 2012. To my eye it best matches Anania quebecensis, which would represent a big reported range extension if true. The larva reached about 16mm and turned bright orange red as a prepupa. I believe I have once before seen the same species on interrupted fern.
