Moth

DateWed 2012-10-31

From back in August, a small grey moth: probably Dichrorampha acuminatana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae).  The larvae of these moths feed on the roots of ox-eye daisies (Leucanthemum vulgare) and tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), both of which are common the the area where I found this moth.
