3430 - Grapholita angeleseana
Did you mean July 12? This is the first record known to me for Maryland. The moth was described from New Jersey, and Scott Justice has a photo in the guide from tidewater Virginia. Bill Johnson also has a photo from Minnesota in the guide.

I've been waiting for you to post one of your excellent photos of a moth rarity from the southern end of our fair county. This is not one of the 1,000 species photographed at my home in north end Bowie.

Tort moth
Could this be a tort moth instead?

Photo taken July 11th
I'm delighted that you are looking forward to my pics and that I photographed a rarity. I took this pic two days ago on July 11 at Piscataway Park. I cropped and posted it on July 12th. I walked into a swarm of these guys (100 or more) on the board walk.
