Thanks guys, I have never seen one of these before. I thought that it was probably a moth with some major wing damage, it just looked too symmetrical. It's kind of amazing that these things can fly with such thin heavy wings.

Ron, are you still trying to sell that plume moth story?
You do know this is really a fuzzy dragon mosquito, don't you?

Sssh ... you know the government didn't want it getting out that the Fuzzy Dragon Mosquito had reached these shores.

Tim, I'm always the last to know.
And that's a shame, because I'm always the first to blab.
