Your letter to the bugman:Â Hi bugman! This flew into my house late at night in august. It has clear wings like a fly, but shape-wise it holds itself like a moth! And very long antennae! Any idea?
How you want your letter signed:Â Indrid
Dear Indrid,
This Caddisfly does share many physical traits with Moths. According to the North American insect identification site BugGuide: “Adults resemble moths, but wings are hairy instead of scaly.”
