Sorry, but I have the darnest time searching for moth ID's. (I did try.)
Thanks.
After Ron's post: it's about time I saw one of these.

Moved from Epiblema desertana. Black spots basad of the ocellus are absent, but this is scudderiana.

Cool,
and thank you. To the untrained eye (me), they look quite similar.
I've still not seen (knowingly) a Goldenrod Gall Moth but maybe this year I'll collect the galls early enough to see the moth.

Not an ID but...
...how about something like Goldenrod Gall Moth (Epiblema scudderiana)?



I didn't get a confirmation on mine but it looks right.

Very good Ron,
and thank you.
It was on goldenrod, in a 10A field of several species of goldenrod, adjacent to 25A of more goldenrod. It also looks right.
