Hello
Sam,

I am just moving moths from ID Request to Moths today to clear out the number of pages in ID Request. The former comment is correct. This is a Plume Moth and I am not qualified to make an ID.

You can leave it in Moths or move it to Plume Moths if you would prefer it rest there. Some Plume expert might come along and be able to ID it to species, but I am not qualified.

A Moth.
That's actually a Moth. I believe it is in the Pterophoridae family (Plume Moths). I'm not sure of the exact species though. Plume moths are very difficult.

Thanks
I would have never guessed a moth.
Thanks
