  Sighting 916053

Observation date: July 17, 2012
Submitted by: Stuart Marcus
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Trinity River Refuge HQ building under white light.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stomlins701
Verified date: August 15, 2013
Coordinator notes: The wing shape, pattern, and legs look like the photos of Xylesthia pruniramiella on MPG, so this is my best id of the photo too. The lichen-like "fuzz" on the wing surfaces on the MPG photos seem missing on the subject photo, but could have worn off.
