    A few weeks ago i noticed an insect on our windowsill.
    I was T shaped. Like a T shaped stick insect. Basically the letter T with legs. It was a light brown baygey colour. Can upload pics if needed. Anyone any idea what it was???

    It could very well have been this guy. Plume Moth. Friends of mine from the UK see them a lot.

    There are a number of species of plume moth.

    Some overwinter as adults but the most commonly seen plume is
    Emmelina monodactyla
    and
    recorded distribution in Ireland
