Winter Insect

Yes, they do fly in winter. I don't know what this is. It landed in front of me while I was snowshoeing. I have not submitted this guy to bugguide.net as of yet. I am waiting to see if I can figure it out its identification myself as I read Winter World: The Ingenuity of Animal Survivalby Bernd Heinrich. I have just begun the chapter on insects in winter. Heinrich is one of my favorite nature writers . . . grab the book from the link below if you live in the northern tier of the United States. Read it!
