Choreutidae, Peacock Brenthia, herbivory - Brenthia pavonacella
Choice, Minnesota, USA
July 17, 2022
Found no larvae, just herbivory on leaves of Pointed-leaf Tick-trefoil, Desmodium glutinosum.
But it must have been a good year for these as found herbivory and larvae at several other locations.

Interesting - we hadn't realized the connection
We have plenty of Desmodium (now Hylodesmum) glutinosum (when will the name changes stop!) but have never looked for Brenthia there. Next year!

Did you find
evidence of the larvae this year?

Alas, name changes
may have already stopped with me.
