Image of Pitcher Plant Mining Moth
Description:
"""Looking down the rabbit hole""! I tried to see what insects could be identified in the depths of some of the pitcher plants but mostly I just saw insect soup. This one moth hadn't quite dropped all the way down in. It looks to me, from this poor angle, to possibly be Schinia arcigera. It was about the right size and I see an obvious dark-light-dark banding from the head, across the FWs to the far margin of the wings."
