    I wonder what you think about genus Eucosma? Or was Bucculatrix already established by an expert?
    This one has a "grass veineer" type of look, unfortunately multiples genuses share that look.     Posted 4 years ago

            Install the app "Leps - by FieldGuide" on your phone. It's awesome, does visual recognition. I use it as a starting point for any moth, and then narrow down from there. Posted 4 years ago

    I don't think it's Bucculatrix. Try comparing it to species in the tribe Eucosmini, such as Ancylis sp., Eucosma sp., Pelochrista sp., or Epinotia sp... Sorry there are so many to choose from! Posted 4 years ago

      I’m not at all good at moths! I’ve put the little fellow on BugGuide, but nothing so far, so every possibility is still open. Posted 4 years ago
