WTF?

Is this?  Some kind of beetle I guess. 

The Creator would appear as endowed with a passion for stars, on the one hand, and for beetles on the other, for the simple reason that there are nearly 300,000 species of beetle known, and perhaps more, as compared with somewhat less than 9,000 species of birds and a little over 10,000 species of mammals. Beetles are actually more numerous than the species of any other insect order. That kind of thing is characteristic of nature.

J.B.S Haldane - What is Life? The Layman's View of Nature, 1949

The quote is also sometime rendered "The Creator, if He exists, has an inordinate fondness for beetles."

Have I told you it's hot outside yet today?

UPDATE: Charlie identified it.  It's not not a beetle at all, it's an Alianthus Webworm Moth.
