Crambid Snout Moth (Crambidae) 9/16/10 Skyline Drive next to golf course, FPA - aka Lawn Moth, larval stage = sod webworm (see description) from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln:

"Adult sod webworms, sometimes referred to as "lawn moths" are buff-colored, about 1/2 to 3/4 inches long with snout-like projections extending forward from the head. At rest, they fold their wings around the body, giving them a cylindrical or cigar-shaped appearance. Sod webworm larvae (caterpillars) are gray to tan with small dark spots on the body and brown heads. They reach 3/4 to 1 inch when fully grown."
