    Carposinidae or Tortricidae are other possibilities.

        Sorry, Nolidea was an error, had it correct on the other ones. That link is interesting, strange that so many similar species exist but never ID-ed below the family level. Thanks for checking! Posted one year ago

          Once they are eventually named to species-level, perhaps one will be named after you. ;) Posted one year ago

            Hah, you never know. I think this requires specimen collecting though. Posted one year ago

                I do have those but I think that in general it's not allowed to collect wildlife specimens without a permit. I'll use that as my excuse :) Posted one year ago
