DESCRIPTION   The 2004 images were taken March 28th in Golden, CO. Adult moths do not roll up their wings at rest as Plume moths do. The small image of the 5 cent piece and the moth are the actual size. The larger image was blown up to depict the detail. Larvae tunnel in shoots, buds and flowers of food plants sometimes producing galls. e r
