Moth ? - Chauliodes
Tewksbury, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
June 26, 2008
Size: 35mm
Time of photo : 9:40 am. Insect is clinging quietly to the roof of the carport like a moth.
Still there at 4:15 pm when I approached it again to measure it. It has feathery antennae
like a male moth but the wings don't have the soft scaly,fuzzy appearance of other moths I've seen.
