I thought this was a moth at first when I was photographing it, but now I'm not really sure what the heck it is at all!

Derbidae: Otiocerus wolfei
It looks like our NH specimens identified by Andy Hamilton. Very nice.

 
Otiocerus amyotii
It looks like O. wolfei, but lacks a black line on the head in front of the eyes.

Neat
Reminds me of the Fulgoroid Planthoppers found here. Images on pages 4-7 especially.

 
Agreed.
Fabulous image of one of the Derbidae!
