Moth, but I don't know where to start - Chrysendeton medicinalis
Hunters Mill bog, Cumberland County, New Jersey, USA
June 19, 2012
Size: 8-10 mm
I accidentally greatly over-exposed the pix of the beast, but the darkening I did still left the distinctive HW markings as they appeared in the field.

Looks like Neocataclysta magnificalis 4743
or a Petrophila sp.
Somewhere on this page at MPG.

Agreed. Thanx.
It looks most like the beast in the pic of 4743 taken by E. Martinez.
