mickgene - I'm pretty sure that is an Ailanthus webworm moth (Atteva punctella). According to my moth book, the caterpillar eats Ailanthus and paradise tree. They make communal webs. Unless you have noticed them, they likely aren't a problem.

I thought I'd try something a little different this time while I try to come up with a new "good guy" insect that I haven't already posted. I sometimes get questions about things like what I'll show you here. Does anyone know what this is?

If you don't know, take a guess. And is it a good thing or a bad thing?
