New to the forum....first post.
Was wondering if anyone knows what the thing in the upper left of the pic is? I assume its a moth but I looked through Google image search and didnt see anything that looked like it. Is there such a thing as a flying snail?? The picture was taken by a automatic trail camera (digital) and doesnt show up in any of the other pictures. If anyone could shed some light I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the input lol. It struck me odd cause of the glow (flash on moth wings would glow no doubt) and the what looks like eyes coming out of its head. I know that antenna would be an obvious answer for that but thats why I asked about flying snails. Thanks.

Could be a beetle with a refective exoskeleten
