Coordinator notes: Rhyacionia sp., possibly R. busckana or granti
I eliminated granti as a candidate due to granti feeding on Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana) which is found in Canada, US Northeast, and US Great Lakes region, but absent from the Southeast. That would leave busckana and frustrana as the two most likely candidates, with frustrana being less common and having some orange along the grey median band, making busckana the most likely choice. -JDR
