Thanks Ed, I think your ID is what we were searching for :)
I agree with Ed... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crombrugghia_distans
Only ID not Specie name.. Specie name is accurate..what is from Europe. Jeffery marked American specie..!!
Ok, I've change my mind, I will change the ID again. Jeffery and Ashish you were right!
You can use Common European Plume moth.
I think Jeffery already suggested..!! I upheld his suggestion..!!
Ashish I don't know the popular name of this moth. Maybe someone could give us more information.
Welcome...!! N&P... Please keep popular name in ID.
Thanks for your comments :) Jeffry and Ashish: Thanks for your help, I think I've found the ID, in my opinion is a Amblyptilia acanthadactyla. It couldn't be possible for me to find the ID without your suggestions :)
I agree with AshishNimkar, looks like the Common Plume Moth
Plume moth... I think..!!
That boy looks odd :D Are those wings? Can it fly? Awesome find!
