A strange moth to identify... - Hellinsia homodactylus
New Hampshire, USA
July 24, 2007
Hello all,
Here is a litte butterfly with feather-like wings photographied in New Hampshire last July.
I know it is a Pterophoridae but no idea about the genus/species...
Can it be Hellinsia homodactyla???
Is Hellinsia and Oidaematophorus the same???
Thank you for your help!
Michel
