weird

weird "moth" - Chauliodes rastricornis
Athens, Athens County, Ohio, USA
May 11, 2006

Just a note
This image was referenced for the ID of another image but that image was misidentified. So this may not be the best reference image.
Here is the other individual that I mentioned.

Moved
Moved from Fishflies.

not a moth
this is a different order, Neuroptera. their larvae are aquatic. They are called Neuroptera because of the many wing veins that make it look like a net. The word Lepidoptera means "scaled wing". this is also a male fishfly but i wouldnt be able to tell you the genus

 
...
The genus is Chauliodes
