Description: Pyrgotidae - Trypetoptera canadensis - Thanks to Bill Murphy for the determination. This little beauty came to my moth light last night. Not 100% sure of my ID, but someone will correct me I am sure..that said, this family would make since since they are parasites of snails..if you zoom in you can see all sorts of wonderful things going on in the wings.
