Ascaloptynx appendiculata ID Tentative.<br />
I had a wonderful visitor at the porchlights this morning. It perched on the dogs&#039; Nylabone (starting to think this isn&#039;t coincidence that insects like it). At a disturbed forest edge.<br />

    I have noticed them getting colored only when sunlight falls on them. Wondering is that because of flash?
