Coordinator notes: I've been looking at this moth for a few months thinking I know what it is, and I'm sure I've run across it somewhere. I keep thinking it's Diagrammia or something close to it but I've been unable to settle on a workable ID. I'm sorry to say that I have to put this into the 'cannot identify' category, in the hope that someone else will know the answer. Perhaps I'm just having a senior moment. JRains - Possibly Phigalia strigataria given the early date. P denticulata doesn't seem to occur in Michigan. CAL
