It’s a moth! This one came in while I was emptying the dog.

I like the wing fringe (you may need the larger version to see it). Is that a stealth mechanism to silence wingbeats, or is it just there because the lady moths all think it’s sexy?

I have taken to carrying a white LED flashlight on my keychain for pictures like this. On the camera, it makes things look a little blue. The moth is actually faintly brownish tan; the bluish light makes it look almost white.

    @Scott: Yes. Part of my daily chores include emptying and refilling the dog. :-)
