  The closest I've come so far is O. ferrolineana, but I don't think it's a match. Posted 6 years ago

    Are you sure you are looking at the right species? O. ferrolineana doesn't look near a match to me.
    
    Looks closer to Olethreutes tilianum or lacunana or permundana (but dissection is needed to differentiate I think?). Posted 6 years ago

      Sorry, I maybe didn't word that right...I don't think it's a match, but it's the only similar one I could find in my moth book. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out! Posted 6 years ago

        Where did you read about dissection being needed to separate the species? I can't find that info. I think this looks like Olethreutes permundana, but that species isn't listed in my moth guide and I'm not finding much info online. Posted 6 years ago

        I'm not really sure on it either. I saw one person mention it in comments on BugGuide, but I haven't seen it elsewhere. I'd be inclined to think this is O. permundana as well. Posted 6 years ago

      The app I use also strongly suggests O. Permundana. Posted 6 years ago

        I think that species looks like a good match. Lisa mentioned above that dissection is needed to separate the species, but I'm not finding that info yet. Posted 6 years ago

        I'll try to find the link to that comment made on BugGuide (I found it after I IDed a similar one as O. permundana during moth week). I say we leave it at O. permundana for now? Posted 6 years ago

        No worries if you can't find it. I'm just curious and am trying to build my library of links that I visit for info. I mostly just use my books and then double check on bugguide, and so I miss out on details like this and species complexes, etc. Posted 6 years ago

        This was in the comments section of a photo, so it may be difficult for me to dig up. I regret not favoriting it! Posted 6 years ago

        Ohh, okay. Yeah, don't bother. That would explain why I didn't see it on the species page. I rarely read the comments on BG photos. Posted 6 years ago
