Hmm, hard for me to tell from the photo, but doesn't appear to be a moth. Looks more like a member for the lacewing family. Pity if that is the case. Lacewings are great aphid predators.

Blessed are the "cracked" ... for it is they who let in the light.

Too bad it was already dead when I found it...

Update, it was in fact still alive, and I released it. Now, just hope it doesn't decided to go into the nearby oreophila pitcher.
