Summary

Description

On a misty November noon I found this odd little insect sitting on a wrapped silage (hay) bale . My first guess was a wingless moth... than After looking it up and could not find any moth that resembles ... I thought it could be a terrestrial Caddisfly.. oh what a mistake I realized thanks to the comments of "flymman13"! And it i sure - now - to be a wingless female Geometer moth!
