As it is in our nature to protect all fairies, it is no surprise to discover Fairy Longhorn Moths canoodling on an alpine strawberry flower at Sharon Fen Preserve. Fairy Longhorn Moths are micromoths in the order Lepidoptera and the family Adelidae. Known for their VERY long thread-like antennae, which shimmer brightly in the sun.
