Lepidoptera {moth, insect} can hold wings flat while resting and fly at night. Moths have feathery feelers, live on land, have two antennae, and have two wing pairs raised by vertical muscle contraction pulling tergum down and lowered by longitudinal muscle contraction at 8 to 75 beats per second, under nerve control.
