Sandy Longhorn Micromoth (Nematopogon schwarziellus)

I find it amazing that a little moth like this can manage to fly at all with such long antennae. Their wingspan is less than 1.5cm and you usually see them flying early in the morning.

Wonderful close up shot. A very unusual insect, you would think the antennae would crash into everything.

Amazing indeed! Wonderful capture!

Wow, yeah, looks like that antenna would get wrapped around the wings or something, as it flew. Great capture.

Too early for me.
