National Moth Week is here, and I’ve spent more time than I’d care to admit watching and thinking about moths over the past five days. Trust me: you’ll be inundated with my moth mania here soon! Found this little guy on my front door a few nights ago though, and I had to share:
That is NOT actually a moth, but a moth fly. It’s hard to confirm without having one in hand, but there are only two little wings on these tiny insects which, in spite of fuzzy appearances, makes them flies and not moths. The larvae of these are often called drain flies and live in some pretty nasty habitats, but the adults are positively adorable! Who’s with me on this?! :)
