This strange-looking creature was on the outside of my storm door one night. I had the porch light on. So far, no one seems to know what it is.

This is a plume moth (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae). See http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/plume_moths__pterophoridae_60896234 for several examples.

Thank you Suunto! I never would have guessed to be a moth. Doesn't look like any moth I've ever seen but I'll take your word for it!
