Yes definitely an alien.


Or maybe a moth of some description.

Run inside and get a Roland keyboard and play very fast tunes to it and see if it responds.

Don't think it's a hawk moth - they sit a bit differently to that.....I think it's an orange swift......but even for one of those that pic is really orange smile. Very cool whatever it is smile
