T-Shaped Bug
Hi,
This fluttered out when I was raking the grass. I can’t tell if its wings are folded, or those "arms" are its wings. Can you please tell me what it is? thanks,

Hi Stewart,
Plume Moths have a very distict wing form, which your photograph nicely illustrates. Plume Moths are in the family Pterophoridae.
