Adela flammeusella - Adela flammeusella - Male
Cottonwood Canyon, Sierra Madre Mountains, Santa Barbara County, California, USA
March 31, 2009
Size: wsp. ~8mm
Darn small moth with rather long antennae. I've seen this before in this area, but didn't manage readable images until now.
This specimen is on a Lasthenia californica.
Looks like the photo labeled [Hodges #] "0224- Adela flammeusella- Chambers, 1876" at Mothphotographers Group website.
-Just noticed that's the same image I used on bugguide-
