Hi everyone, Saw this today in my garden (6 degr. Celsius, 16.00 PM, 12 Nov. The Netherlands east, it didn't/couldn't fly, it walked beetle-like). Looks mothlike, but also a bit Staphylinidae like, but my money is one something butterflylike. Any idea? Thanks.

This is a moth, Most likely it is a female of a Geometrid moth. There are many species with wingless females, particularly in those species, which fly very early or very late. |

Allright lads, Thanks for your replies. Juergen, I like your site, but that lepiforum is also very informative
