... What IS this? I searched 40 minutes in the guide and couldn't find ANYTHING like it... It made a sound like a helicopter when it flew. Couldn't get any remotely good shots... Moth of some kind judging by the antennae?

0457 - Evergreen Bagworm Moth - Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis
.... and that really is a good shot of a very difficult moth. They tend to be very hyperactive around lights and eventually end up as totally clear-winged.

So that's what the bagworms end up looking like... I thought it looked familiar... Thanks!
