Snowy-shouldered Acleris Moth
Acleris nivisellana

Observation date: September 23, 2025
Submitted by: drifter423
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: 14C, 98% humidity, light rain. Daytime partly cloudy, high 22C. This is a rather small moth. The body shape suggests Alceris to me but I could not match the wing patterning to any online photos. I wish mine was a better photo, but it is the only one I managed. I hope it is enough for you to work with.
