Agriphila plumbifimbriella? - Agriphila vulgivagellus
Logy Bay, Northeast Avalon, Newfoundland/Labrador, Canada
July 23, 2006
Size: 11 mm 'Nose' to Wing Tips
I found this moth while it was flitting around landing on the wet grass and weeds in our backyard about 6:00 PM. I caught it in a jar and took these photos before measuring and releasing it. The BugGuide image for Feather Duster Moth looks a lot like my subject to me.  Could mine be a Agriphila plumbifimbriella - Hodges#5397? Is it possible to tell the sex?
