Crane fly?? - Geina periscelidactylus
Eagle (Village), Waukesha County, Wisconsin, USA
June 22, 2007
Size: wingspan about 2 cm.
We are so curious to know what this is. My boys think it is a moth but I'm guessing a crane fly? Its wings are leaf shaped and rough though, not rounded. Thanks for any help!

Actually a moth
in the Pterophoridae - Plume Moths. Lots of similar species in the Tribe Platyptiliini here. Unfortunately many go un-ID'd.
