Hello Mothlight,

I have been moving moths from Moths to Family, Genus, and Species. This photo has been nagging me. Because of the position of the moth at the time of the photo I do not think you will ever get an ID and I don't feel comfortable moving it Anywhere. But I thought you might like to look at

to see what you think. It has not been seen in Nova Scotia, but it has been see close.

Schlaeger's Fruitworm moth

Hello--Thanks very much for your suggestion. The illustration in Peterson finally clicked one day and I'd say that you are correct. I have seen this a few more times, as well, so they definitely seem to be here--and this is in the fairly remote NE corner of NS. Thanks, too, for your comment on the Hypena, probably H. eductalis. Your suggestions provide encouragement.

Possible Antaeotricha schlaegeri 1011 moth in NS

Hello, again,
I found another photo of what I think is an A. schlaegeri in Nova Scotia. This one dates from 2014 rather than 2013, date of the photo you inquired about. The 2014 specimen is much paler and is sitting with its wings folded in a typical manner. But it seems to me that if you fold the 2013 moth's wings into a more of a tube, and think of the marks as much paler, you could have the same moth. But I might be wrong. In either case, is the 2014 photo a Schlaeger's? If so, then we have them here in NE Nova Scotia. I am submitting the photo as a new ID request because that seems to be the only way to send it. Thanks for your kind interest and trouble. Tila Kellman
