Again, looking closely in the petunia leaves, I saw this. I'll have to see if I can see more of it without hurting anything, but any idea what it is (was)??

(Again, from August 24 in Southeastern, PA.)

Thanks!

They remind me of the Coffin Fly(Ephemera guttulata) wings or that of The Brown Drake(E. simulans).
