Hey there:

I just happen to catch this little guy on my window.

They seem to like to hang on to the glass, the air must be too strong for them to fly (I see their wings swaying in the air current) but they hold on to the glass pretty strongly.

Anyone have any idea what it is?

I'm pretty high up in the building and was wondering what it was doing up here?

Size reference:

Probably the best pic i can take with this shoddy camera:

Height reference:

These two are a bit lower on the window pane, notice the long "tails":

Full body:

Well, let the guessing game begin.

(I am still searching bugguide to see if i can find anything, but any help is appreciated)

Thanks for sharing David.

Thats actually pretty neat how they get up that high and would choose to land on the windows.

I love your view-you are so lucky! My veiw is pretty terrible on some days, especially when I am forced to look at firemen, police officers and paramedics. Confused
