Coordinator notes: The whitish costal spots are one the the most distinct markings for this species, according to bugguide.net, and on that basis, I agree with the suggested id of Archips argyrospila. There is excellent comparison of those markings between some of the photos on bugguide.net and MPG and this sighting photo. SAT http://bugguide.net/node/view/109402
