Twirler moth - Chionodes fondella
Prairie Haven, Buffalo County, Wisconsin, USA
June 28, 2020
I kept the seed head in the frig over the winter, and took it out at the end of March. I don't know when the adult emerged - I found it dead at the bottom of the jar. It looks to me like Chionodes fondella.
