I saw this on the front porch tonight. I've never seen anything like this before. Do you know what it is?
And we are in Southeastern Virginia, USA.

Ah... This is a Morning Glory Plume Moth, most people seem to call it the t bug or t moth from where iam and it's a very common moth which I see an awful lot in the spring to the summer.
It's a european moth which has been introduced to North America which flies coast to coast... A few months ago, I had one right outside my window 
and it was not helpful having to wash the dishes and see THAT on thy window.
There, this bug is now identified

To me, that looks more like a combination of a bettle and a fly to me, yet looking at it would creep me out... I would be scared to even go near any insects.
