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.
