Crambidae: Ostrinia obumbratalis? - Udea rubigalis
Red Wing, Goodhue County, Minnesota, USA
August 4, 2011
Size: Length ~ 1 cm
Hmmm...I'll need some help with this specimen. My first guess is that it's a Smartweed Borer Moth (Hodges #4947), but I'm probably wrong. I'd appreciate any and all hints! Thanks for looking! ;-)

Re: Crambidae: Ostrinia obumbratalis?
I think an Udea species, maybe Udea rubigalis - Hodges#5079.

Excellent! Thanks, Jay!
That's it, Jay! Thank you so much! It's a good match for the BG image of the Celery Leaftier:
