Seraphim wings

Seraphims are quite regular in my trap as I live near a wood with aspens. I only read recently that they were named Seraphim (meaning angels with 6 wings) because the males have an extra pair of "wings". Actually there is a small fold on the hind wing that gives the appearance of an extra wing. This photo today seems to show it quite well.
