Moth Family?
New Durham, Strafford County, New Hampshire, USA
June 27, 2009
Size: approx.3"long
These 2 were spotted this morning. From indoors first, I thought it was a bat attached to my screen. Looks like 2 moths attached to each other. I am putting in an image from inside and one from outdoors.
What is it?

Hard to say...
but looking at the markings on the underside of the wings, they appear to be Polyphemus moths. Sometimes more than one male will come to a female, which is what your photo appears to show.
