A Paralobesia?
Wondering if this is a Paralobesia species?

Thanks George.
If it helps, I submitted better photos.

Paralobesia slingerlandana?
As that species is reported to feed on Eupatorium. Not much available online though and my only experience is with a related moth - Paralobesia viteana. That species is also a colony feeder that webs together flowers. In that case flowers of a commercially important crop, grape, so much more info available.

Nice. Maybe.
Host plant matches but I'm not good at visual recognition so can't tell much even with the photos on Moth Photographers. I could send it to someone.

Is there someone who would take/wants these similar looking Olethreutinae moths reared from host plants?
