Feather Bug ??? 09/20/2024 - Male
Woodbridge, Prince William County, Virginia, USA
September 20, 2024
Size: 1.5cm
The bug looks familiar, but I can't determine if the feather-like form at its front is an appendage, or something its holding. Thanks, Dave

Male midge with feathery antennae. Please be sure to crop your pics so the bug fills the frame, as requested on the submission form. Only you and the editors/experts have the ability to click on the photo and see the full size version.

Thanks!
