Dark-headed Aspen Leafroller - Anacampsis innocuella

Dark-headed Aspen Leafroller - Anacampsis innocuella
Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, New York, USA
June 4, 2006
Size: 15mm
Found in a rolled up aspen leaf.

Moved from Unidentified microlep immature stages.
It looks like you got the right identity on this one. The host plant was right, it was in a leaf roll and it matches up well with the larval picture on MPG also.

Anacampsis innocuella
There is a decent image on MPG, or if you can get your hands on "Insects of Eastern Hardwood Trees" by Rose and Lindquist you'll find it there.

Edit: Found a French version of Rose and Lindquist. At the very least you can compare pictures. Cued up to right page, just scroll down to the image on the bottom right.

Southwestern Corn Borer??
I think thats a Southwester Corn Borer...My wife found one today in our yard, and although we dont have corn, thats the closest thing I can find :)) Hope that helps folks!

Yours, Mine
When you get your ID I'll know what I have! I photographed mine last winter on a warm day (the larva was under bark). I recall one or two others have posted this same one but no ID yet. Here's mine:

If it's not in Wagners book,
then most times it doesn't get identified. Too bad he doesn't visit bugguide, and solve some of our mysteries.

 
We just saw some yesterday in Chicago
all rolled up in leaves of Aspen. Maybe there's something called the Aspen/Poplar Leaf Roller??

 
Let's make our own names
if nobody wants to ID them:-)
