OP here:
* I haven't seen this bug before. *
Here's another photo.
I live in Perú BTW.

I searched too. Maybe a form of cranefly but I saw nothing like that sorry.

Can anyone please help?

It looks like a moth of some kind. There are some really strange ones and this is certainly up there. Reminds me of this species from Europe:

absolutely awesome find

I don´t know why, but it reminds me of Pterophorus for some reason

But I don´t know what it is
Mabe you should send a few pics of it to the guys at whatsthatbug.com

Also, where are you from?

But I'm in Peru dude. Lima to be exactly. Imma chek it out anyways.

>>2187319
and PLEASE give us updates if you find out what it is

Because I´m very intersted in knowing that too


Also, if you want, I can post your pics in an Lepidoptera-forum
maybe someone over there might recognise what it is

Yes, ID definitely keep you updated. I have posted it to whatsthatbug.com and I'm hoping for an answer. I can go home now and see if I can catch it. This could turn really interesting.

OP here
I just caught it.At first I though that it was 2 insects copulating but it's not. It flies and the 2 legs in the front don't separate from its position. Any help?

Better pics. Pretty sure it is moth.

I could see it being some strange moth species as well. It looks a bit fuzzy.

Never seen anything quite like it either, though. This really could be a new species. Hope you get info soon. If not, I'd get in touch with local entomologists or something so they can lab it.

It could also be a larval stage of a different insect. Some larval stages look nothing like their adult forms whatsoever.

OP here

I think I found it. It's black though.

I don't think that's it. It's..Things on the front go outward and are more angular.Thing looks weird as fuck.

OP again
Since no one can identify this Insect, un setting It free.

>>2187548
It's a plume moth.

>>2187370
If you live in peru it's not that unlikely you've just discovered a new species. It's not even that big of a deal down there.
