I found this on the side of my house - it is cool outside about 50 to 60 degree F. It appear to be missing one antennae and have bristles (or hairs or tooth) on its legs. It have a soft body, no wing cases so can't be beetles and prefer to plays dead instead of running away. It is about 1/2 inch long. It have butterfly - like eyes - I researched wingless butterflies and moths (moths mainly) and found winter moths and fall cankerworms (Yikes!) . Is this one of them?
