This fly was found in my home at night end of June this year. I was fascinated by it's wing forms, patterns, and the "hairs" on the wings. My place is Stockholm, Sweden, in an apartment which is a few hundred meters from a national park and bodies of water. I have been searching the net for a few hours but can't find a similar one. I did find one with these kinds of hairs a few month back but don't remember where. Anyone please?

This is a Plume Moth (Lepidoptera, Pterophoridae) - almost certainly Amblyptilia acanthadactyla

Wow, that was fast Tony. Thanks  Amazing how you can see this. To me the pose and body form made me look into the Tipulidae family. Belief is not an idea that the mind possesses but an idea that possesses the mind. |
