Thanks, Buck,
I measured one last night and the TL was 7.5 mm. I measured one last July and
another in August and the TL on both was 4.1 mm.

Tortrix
It is considered a
valid species, not a complex; there is one junior synonym: Tortrix
inconclusana (Walker, 1863) (Dichelia).

can't find a reference for seasonal differences, but there may be 4 or
5 generations per year depending upon habitat; it is the most
widespread tortricine tortricid in North America, the common name
is Garden Tortrix; these moths feed on dead and decaying plant matter
and fruit on the ground. It is considered a minor pest
species. Forewing length for males is 4.7 - 6.7mm and for
females 5.4 - 7.3mm

>>Does anyone know if there are
seasonal size differences of Clepsis peritana
or if there is really more than one species involved? The first ones in spring
are always much
larger than what I see the rest of the year. 3688.1 – Clepsis
penetralis looks close but I can't find any information on size.
