Merrill,
I will try to work on my Tortricid more this afternoon. Regarding the
Rhyacionia, I think the genus should be changed to Frustrana. But then there
are countless other candidates waiting in line for that designation. On second
thought, let’s just refer to all moths by that name!

Harry,
I agree your bug is in the subfamily Eucosmini; the closest match I see on MPG
is #2946, Phaneta apacheana. However, the name suggests it is a western
species and the closest record to here is from OK.
I got a report from Parker Backstrom that he too is seeing Rhyacionia--they're
all over the place! Like you, he thinks his bug most resembles R. duplana.
Here we go again!

I believe the moth in my photos from last night is probably a Eucosmini, but
I have not been able to find it through MPG or BG. I believe the last image,
7720 (taken Sat. night) is probably the same species. Any ideas, anyone? I also
had a very striking Roadside Sallow, quite a few Green Cloverworm Moths, an
Alternate Woodling, and my dear friend, R. frustrana. Also on Saturday I had a
Reddish Speckled Dart.
