Hi,
I spotted this unusual (to me) moth a couple of nights ago in a partially torn apart bathroom that will eventually be remodeled. The pics aren't the greatest since I had to maneuver around some things just to get any shots.

The "Metallic or "Iridescence" was the way the moth actually looked. It's not from the camera and I didn't use any flash.

Thanks in advance for any help.

A female scorpionfly. Panorpa sp. and harmless.

Thanks, Ivy!
I figured if anyone would know it would be you. I really appreciate it.

I released it outside the following morning.
