Maple Leafcutter Moth - Paraclemensia acerifoliella 6mm DSC_3264small3.jpg

Maple Leafcutter Moth - Paraclemensia acerifoliella
This blue moth was photographed at Sir Winston Churchill Park in Lac La Biche, Alberta 05/27/10
Of course I did not know what it was, so I asked Terry Thormin to help me out.
He sent the photo out to several people and the result is this......

" No doubt, that is P. acerifoliella. That is an entirely new family for
Alberta, and a species I would not have expected here."
