this is possibly a silk moth because of it's comb-like antennae. silk moths use them for feeling because they are very sensitive yo touch. AWESOME PICTURE! :)

I'd just seen something similar to this, and thought I'd pass the link. Might be a fishfly of some type, but I'm about 90% wrong most times! Sorry..

Oh my, I second that Wow! Superb capture, the detail is incredible! The screen mesh makes for a very interesting backdrop as well..this insect must be very tiny indeed. Gets my vote for sure!
