mhkingDescription
Chutes PP, near Espanola, ON
Tentatively identified as Agonopterix nigrinotella
Here are 2 examples. They are both a bit worn, however I think that the black collar that extends almost around the whitish thorax is distinctive...
Addendum... Possibly 420159 – Nites betulella – Black-dotted Birch Leaftier

Tentative. Wondering if this could be O. N-so.nr-auticapitana, given the relatively sparse yellow markings and dark head. Trap was set up directly under a yellow birch. https://bugguide.net/node/view/868945

michael_butlerDescription
LepiLED light trap. Tentative ID but seems like a good match for this one (and none of the other Agonopteryx known from Canada):
http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=856
Kyle Johnson collected a specimen from Mackinac Co (MI) in a similar habitat on Sept. 18, 2018.
"sand dune ridges/wetland swales with scattered Larix-Pinus-Thuja-Picea-Betula woodland groves."
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2275095059
[Sept 9, 2021 edit: Kyle Johnson commented:
'sure looks like it to me. Agonopterix lythrella is similar size and pattern (and flies around the same time), but with a distinct dark reddish cast.
Wow, surprising that is new to Canada, given collection efforts on Manitoulin Island and other places. Shows how much we don't know! I've taken it in a few other northern Michigan locations as well, in addition to Mackinac. Co. Should be sought elsewhere in Ontario, esp. near the border with Michigan.

I have no idea what this moth is. The nearest I could find on the net was Stout Spanworm moth. It was silvery & very pretty.
