i worked very hard today and took over 20 pictures of this thing, to try to get a picture someone could see. i posted one of these a couple weeks ago, but it wasnt this good a close up..to me it looks like a moth but so does the glitter moth thing i also posted. is this a moth? if so what family?
see this for another image and the glitter moth image..what the heck are these things? they have been here all summer and fall, could they be some sort of timy caddis?
