Hi everyone, Saw this today in my garden (6 degr. Celsius, 16.00 PM, 12 Nov. The Netherlands east, it didn't/couldn't fly, it walked beetle-like). Looks mothlike, but also a bit Staphylinidae like, but my money is one something butterflylike. Any idea? Thanks. Edited by Andre Jas on 12-11-2006 17:40 Andr? Jas |

This is a moth, Most likely it is a female of a Geometrid moth. There are many species with wingless females, particularly in those species, which fly very early or very late. |
