MPG
I added this to MPG as the large and realized only then that it was not the same moth as the one shown in the small MPG photo. No problem but I would still like to know how it was identified.

Apomyelois bistriatella?
Hello Hugh - I've been assuming that northeastern examples like this are Apomyelois bistriatella. Did I get this wrong? They seem to match the examples at BOLD/All-Leps, here and here.

Could you take a look at the images I placed under A. bistriatella here and let me know if you think I should move them? Thanks!

Photo Cropped....
.... to permit moth to be displayed at larger size. 560x560 pixels is best maximum photo size at BugGuide. Nice pic.
