No comment:-)
Oh, dear, I'm not even positive of the genus, but it certainly is the most likely one given the food plant. Outstanding images, though! I'll see if I can't get Dr. Charles O'Brien to take a quick look at these. He did his Master's(?) thesis on the genus Gerstaeckeria.

Thanks Eric.
Is it Ok to leave them here, or should I take them off until we are sure?

G. hubbardi
Ok, Dr. O'Brien identified these as G. hubbardi. He tried to log on himself, but apparently to no avail.
