Gelechiidae, dorsal - Filatima revisensis

Gelechiidae, dorsal - Filatima revisensis
Red Oak Prairie, Allamakee County, Iowa, USA
May 19, 2019
September 21, 2018: collected seeds of Lead plant, Amorpha canescens, on a hill prairie remnant.
September 22, 2018: sorting through what was gathered, saw leaflets pressed together much like sensitive plant does when touched. Confined the leaves
September 23, 2018: frass, good sign
May 19, 2019: spot of fluid on the side of the jar, looked closer, a moth, but it blends in so well it might have emerged the previous day.

Det. Terry Harrison.

I'm adding this and your spread Anacampsis wikeri, which Terry confirmed was good, to MPG.

Thanks!!

 
Even if I can't ID,
I should have recognized the feeding habit.
Thank you for taking care of this.
