      They do look similar but after going over other photos of this species I feel even more confused. Also, there are hardly any North American records and all (3?) from eastern Canada. Posted 6 years ago

        Yes, I noticed each species in this genus has very variable photos of them, wouldn't bet my life on any of them. Posted 6 years ago

          Check the Acleris if you really want to get confused! Posted 6 years ago
