Actually, it had club-like, not feathery antennae. And its wings were elevated at rest, not flat, so I'm pretty sure it's a butterfly. But thank you!

I know, it's pretty woolly! I would have thought moth too if I hadn't seen the antennae. It looks kind of like the Fender's Blue Butterfly, but I think it's some other species.
