Insect

“Insect” is as close as I can get to naming this creature. It was about 5mm long and was on a window. (See the raindrops outside.) I’ve blown the shot up to the max to show the elaborate headdress. There are two wonderfully feathery fronds and three long antennae with fluffy ends. Is it a fly… or a moth… or what?

Edit: Top marks to DaveH. It's a male mosquito. Thanks, Dave.

Poppy of the Day in Extras.  This one is next to the curry plant. I was looking for praying mantis nymphs, but didn’t find one, until I looked at this shot on my computer screen. Can you spot it? It’s out of focus.
