Fletcher's cydia moth (Cydia fletcherana), #3472

Who knew that there was a moth named after James Fletcher?! I found this little Tortricid not at the FWG, but at a site SW of Ottawa. According to Bug Guide: "Specific epithet in honor of Dr. James Fletcher (1852–1908), botanist and entomologist of the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa"
