2441 - Argyresthia austerella

.... thanks to Jim Vargo's specimen photo not yet on the MPG micro plate.

field marks?

This looks very similar to photos of Argyresthia oreasella (Cherry Shoot Borer) at U. of Alberta, All-Leps, and Larry Line's site. I compared them with photos of A. austerella by Jim Vargo at MPG, and yours, Bob, on the living MPG plate, and couldn't see any obvious differences.

Do you know what distinguishes these two species?
