Red-crossed Button Slug
Tortricidia can be difficult to determine with absolute certainty without rearing to adulthood. This one was really tiny, which makes I.D. even more challenging.
For this one, I'm going withTortricidia pallida. The color patterning seem to fit...and T pallida is the most common button slug found in my neck of the woods.
