Seney National Wildlife Refuge, Helstrom Addition, vegetated stone & sand beach (dominated by Hudsonia tomentosa). At dusk, this moth was flying selectively to Artemesia campestris (Field Sagewort) plants.
It looks very similar to Striated Eucosma at MPG, Hodges #2973 (http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/pinned.php?plate=08.1&page=2&sort=h). Costal bands continue all the way to basal area, which looks different than examples at MPG, BugGuide, and RG iNat. The whitish longitudinal band on this moth also looks more continuous from the wing base to the outer margin.
Cool moth!

This owl was taken to a certified raptor rehabber shortly after we found him on the ground tangled in branches. No need to worry

In jack pine (Pinus banksiana) area that burned last spring. A sand-encrusted silk-lined tube is attached to the stem of the sand cherry (Prunus pumila) plant on which the moth is perched. The tube-building habit for this species is described in this article: https://archive.org/details/entomologicalnew16acad/page/12/mode/1up?view=theater.
Same moth as https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/225336376.

Bugguide page for this species: https://bugguide.net/node/view/30106
This is a first iNat record for Michigan (though BOLD mentions Michigan: https://bugguide.net/node/view/30106, and has a photo very similar to this one).
