Tentative ID.

 
Thanks Jason

Moved from Moths. Thanks Dick, that link should come in handy.

Agree and perhaps Choristoneura rosaceana
I note many of your specimens are in common with the moths I have found here. I have also sent around 2000 specimens for DNA sequencing and have results from many. Not that this always solves the taxonomic problem but it does add to the evidence. I have also built a reference set that I try and keep refreshed with new DNA forms or corrections. It might work for many of the specimens you find. Maybe provide a starting point. Here is the Flickr link.
