Entre le 30-07 et 14-08
Projet spécial avec le CFL
Found in the morning inside my light trap. Looks a lot like Crambidia casta but I find the size & shape is suspect. iNat CV & Fieldguide Leps CV both suggest Prodoxus (which isn't in the Annotated Checklist of the Moths and Butterflies (Lepidoptera) of Canada and Alaska - Pohl - 2018).
Update: Definitely not C. casta. The hind wings are a dark brown-grey colour fringed in white with the abdomen a lighter brown lengthwise across the top and white on the sides. Wing span approx. 3cm.
This specimen is a very good match for this species.

June 07,2024: I collected a few sprigs of Shepherdia canadensis with small leaf bloches near my home (photo #5) and placed them in small jar to rear.
July 12, 2024: Observed a moth on side of jar and ID'd it as Coleophora elaeagnisella. (photos#1> #4)
As this moth is a casebearer I checked leaves and stems for a case and found it attached to a small stem (photo #6)

Orache Leafminer Moth (Chrysoesthia sexguttella)?

At MV Light.
Specimen AA-2023-277
Specimen dissected by Michael Sabourin.
These were accidentally acquired along with a Platanthera orchid I'd collected on July 1, 2021, south of the Peace River in British Columbia, Canada, north of Jackfish Lake Road.

These beasties turn up in the plant press, munching their way through my nice Platanthera specimen inflorescences...these are pics of a few dried out ones that were still stuck to the flowers.

Caught with a net
An observation kind of forgotten in an album that did not get sorted out and reviewed fully.
Moth. 6mm nose to wingtips. Found on black vehicle sitting in our driveway.
My wife found this on her arm after coming in the house from outside about 1:00 PN NDT. She saved it and I photographed it later. It flew away after the photos.
This observation using an UV light was collected under a Grasslands National Park permit

Found in the morning inside my light trap.
On Achillea millefolium.
Attracted to lights in old field - garden - orchard habitat along coast of Northumberland Strait.
This is a screenshot of a video so quality is poor. If iD is correct, this may be a new species for New Brunswick. The alternating bands of cloth on the sheet are 11mm wide.
Found on a fence near an exterior light.

This is the iNat CV suggestion for this moth. According to Annotated Checklist of the Moths and Butterflies (Lepidoptera) of Canada and Alaska, Pohl 2018, there are no Xylesthia species in SK, so more research may be needed here.

@gpohl: another moth that isn't listed for SK in your checklist.
Found this moth climbing in our Juniper bush while we were weeding the front yard. Over the course of about 1.5-2 hrs. it expanded it's wings to full size. I suspect that the caterpillar grew up on our neighbour's Virginia Creeper and over wintered as a pupa somewhere near the bush in our front yard.

iNat CV suggests this moth. It is not listed in Annotated Checklist of the Moths and Butterflies (Lepidoptera) of Canada and Alaska, Pohl 2018.
Moth also matches very well with https://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=9653, https://bugguide.net/node/view/30821 and
https://search.museums.ualberta.ca/g/2-5100, especially the distinctive dark brown orbicular, reniform an ST bands.

@gpohl: I think this this one could qualify to be added as a stray for SK in your checklist
