Tricky Chionodes sp.? - Chionodes
Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, USA
June 21, 2020
Size: 7 mm
Attracted to light. Looks like a Gelechiidae, kind of looks like it belongs in genus Chionodes. Some notable things: the white spots are real, has a white line toward but not at trailing edge of wing, brown fuzz on thorax appears to be repeatable photo to photo, so also probably real. What is this? It's pretty, at least.
