This is Family Gelechiidae - Twirler Moths and I really think Genus Coleotechnites. The one I picked is not listed in the species list for BG, so I am not qualified to make an ID. Check out http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=1817. My other thought was Genus Sinoe, but they did not look right. NOT an ID - no qualification in this area.
