That thin loop at the tail end looks like the male sexual organ of Tephritoidea, and the wings are consistent with that superfamily. Coming to light suggests a nocturnal species, and the genus Leptopyrgota of the mostly nocturnal family Pyrgotidae has an enlarged antenna and similar wing. |

Hello blackdogto, With the cell cup looking like it does, the long slender body and these kinds of antennae. I'd say Pyrgotidae. Kind regards, Ectemnius |
