Proteus Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'd like to identify this insect. What species is it? You don't necessarily need to say anything else about it. I can look it up myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky45 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 There are Im shure thousands of unidentified insects out there. One that I saw in my yard flew in circles then flew away in up and down motions. Kinda like it was swimming through the air, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteus Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 OK, bad wording. I meant I couldn't identify it. Considering how crowded it is here, and how homogenized nature is, I don't think it very likely that I'd stumble upon an insect no one's ever named in the middle of a large city.

Genecks Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yeah, I was going to say it was a moth from its physical structures, such as the fuzziness. I've played with moths enough times in my life that I consider them household pets not pests. I think it was the back and antennae that gave me the impression it was a moth.
