Argyresthia tsuga?
The one Argyresthia species currently known from Southeast Alaska is A. tsuga, but there seems to be little information on the internet about the species. There are some other species known from the state (and moths are not well-studied in Southeast Alaska to begin with), so I don't want to be too hasty in drawing conclusions. I do have at least a couple of these collected, however - so perhaps they will get positively identified at some point.

Yponomeutidae: prob. Argyresthia
I can't get it to species. Try scrolling through species pages at BOLD. (no rsvp, thanks)
