I cannot see any Lecithoceridae like this.

To me this looks more like Philabota (genus) - than anything - I think I can see uptuned palps). But after looking on the ALA and LBH I can't find a good match.

I think the antennae are too long for Gelechioidea.

4241651 does not have the long antennae of this specimen. Tapirlord: are those green things eggs that it was laying?
