Terrenella Bee Moth (side) - Aphomia terrenella
Ailsa Craig, Ontario, Canada
July 18, 2004
Size: head to wingtip 12 mm
Presumably a pyralid but with some features of a Chimney Swift thrown in. This weirdo made a single visit to our porch in 2004.

Update 11 Mar 2006: other image identified as A. terrenella by Louis Handfield; title changed from "swift moth", and image moved from Pyralidae page to new species page
