Lloyd Gonzales comment:
This is a leptocerid caddisfly, possibly Mystacides alafimbriata.

Looks more like a Caddisfly
I'm not an expert, but I think it's a Caddisfly rather than a moth--though I'm afraid I don't have much of an idea as to which one. See here for more information about Caddisflies.

Thanks
That was my first thought also ... the long antennae and shape. However, I get surprised often by the variety of shapes the moths have. I also get a lot of different caddis flies in the moth traps. Perhaps someone else can verify further for us.
