Galasa nigrinodis
Small, red to brown Pyralid moth
At porch lights near overgrown field/front yard and mixed hardwood forest.
Thank you for clearing that up!
I believe this is Galasa nigrinodis. The front legs actually do not have big tufts. Only the two hind sets do. If you scroll through the images on Bug Guide you can see some that have all legs visible. http://bugguide.net/node/view/24031
