Brenthia in Minnesota? - Glyphipterix circumscriptella
Huntersville State Forest, Wadena County, Minnesota, USA
July 4, 2018
Size: 6.5 mm
Found on a milkweed plant. I first noticed it because it was mimicking a jumping spider. I am thinking that it is Brenthia pavonacella, but the large white marking across its back throws me off.

That does look just like it! Do you know if they exhibit any form of mimicry? I have a video of this one moving exactly like a jumping spider, just as Brenthia do.
