  1. The body shape makes me think it is a melanistic grass veneer of some sort? Crambini Tribe. Hmmm Posted 4 years ago
    1. Yes! It does look like that. I posted it on iNat and will share on BG as well. I'm not sure what to make of it. Posted 4 years ago
      1. Cool! Update me when you find out! Posted 4 years ago
        1. I got a suggestion on iNat: Neodactria sp. Posted 4 years ago
  2. The app suggests Dichomeris ligulella, photos of it show a very high variability, so far from sure. Posted 4 years ago
    1. Thanks for checking! I got a suggestion on iNat for Neodactria sp. Perhaps, as Lisa mentioned above, it's melanistic? Posted 4 years ago
