Phantom2002, sorry I missed your comment about the photo! This looks a lot like Euptilon ornatum. Take a look here and see what you think! http://bugguide.net/node/view/187089

I believe this may actually be a species of Antlion. Do you have any other views where you can see the wings entirely? Here is a link that may help you get an ID on this neat insect: http://bugguide.net/node/view/137/bgpage
