Cochylichroa avita
no exact dna match for this specimen, keep an eye out for fresh material and opposite sex if you can

Material
Hi Michael, I have a specimen or two of an identical-looking moth which I reared from upper stems of this host. Some evidence I've seen suggests some of the stem feeder individuals might start in the inflorescence/seedhead, which I read somewhere is a progression documented for other cochylines. I am behind in sharing specimens, but would be happy to make a plan to get these to you if you're interested. (email address in my user profile page) --John vdL

Interesting
Looks similar to

which I reared in 2021 from white snakeroot, albeit from a larva that tunneled in stems and overwintered there. Also, there is this one whose larva overwintered among fruits or in stems of Eutrochium

Very similar.
Same host plant .. with second generation overwintering in the stems?
