Thanks!
I had never seen a moth with clear wings, thanks a lot for the ID!

 
You're welcome!
BTW, this is a male with the females being wingless and legless!

 
Neat
I had heard of wingless moths, but not legless! Wow. Moths are much more strange than I had thought. The bags I read about on BugGuide after you gave it an ID, I have probably seen those things many, many times before but never had any idea how the moth looked as an adult. Thanks again.
