Field Notes

Description:

After a week or two in the pupal stage, the adult moths emerge in late June or early July. The moths are small with a wingspan of 18 to 22 millimetres (0.71 to 0.87 in); the wings have a characteristic bell shape.[7] Wing color can vary considerably. Forewings are a mixture of "creamy brown and gray" with gray found at the wingtips.[1] The forewings have a darker band of brown or gray crossing obliquely. The adults mate and lay eggs to start the next generation. The moths produce only one generation annually.[1][7]
