This is the tiny Plume moth closer. There are different kinds of plume moths so I'm not certain which one this is. I'm having a record year in my yard for Plume moths this summer. It seems that everywhere I look there's a Plume moth ! Can you see how it got its name? There are two long plume-like tails that run along the abdomen. Plume moths always hole their wings out like a T.

Thanks everyone. Crystaltips I'm using a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ20 digital. I love it. I have the setting on Auto so I can just point and shoot.
