Do you think it could be something other than a moth? Like, maybe a caddisfly. I've never seen a caddisfly hold its wings flat like this, but it seems to have some caddisfly characteristics, like super long antennae. Also, caddisflies have hairy wings, while moth wings have scales. I can't tell from this shot what this insect has...Also, I think it appears to have palps rather than a proboscis? Posted 6 years ago

    It looks like the both of you right. Which sucks, because now I have to rename every one shared due to my obsession with sequential number lol. Posted 6 years ago
