| | | T-shaped insect
Twice I've seen a T-shaped (capital) insect in my house. The upright of the T is about an inch long; the whole is straw-coloured; and there are wings inside the horizontal of the T. The creature was holding onto a wall, with the T the right way up.
Any ideas? |

Definitely sounds like one of the Plume Moths.

Indeed. I looked up plume moths, and found this one UKMoths - Emmelina monodactyla
which is very close to what I saw. Perhaps the one I saw was smoother and more straw-coloured; perhaps not.
Anyway, thank you very much. |

Does not matter if it is obvious or not....It might be obvious to you but not to another member.... Thats what this place is for, it try and help people identify what they see...

Looks like Jamesv is quite new too, try not to pick on him Pimpernel,  we don't want to frighten him off.

Well I've been here since January and wouldn't have known what it was called either.
We can't all know everything about every subject and the beauty of WAB is that you can ask a question and someone, somewhere will hopefully answer it.
Obvious to some people it will be, but if we don't ask we may never know.

I was pulling cidermakers leg. Now i feel ashamed and thanks to Pimpernel, Coley and monkster for picking me up - you're quite right of course. No chance of scaring me away though, after a +ve ID on my detritivore hover fly larvae a couple of weeks ago i can sleep in peace no longer worrying they were boring through the beams in my house!
