Chrysoclista linneella #1463 or Mompha terminella #1456 - Mompha terminella
Watauga County, North Carolina, USA
August 7, 2010
Came to my light sheet. I think it's either Chrysoclista linneella or Mompha terminella but these species are very similar. Chrysoclista is an introduced species from Europe and all occurrence locations I can find are from New England or southern Canada. I have the native Tilia (basswood) around my yard.
