I think the wings might just be damaged or somehow misaligned.
This might help though: http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/identification_tools |

Okay, the most likely answer is that it isn't a moth but a butterfly. Unlike most moths, butterflies can move their front and back wings independently. I'd say your one is a skipper of some sort.

Dude, not all moths of one kind look alike. A Gypsy Moth who's been running around isn't going to have the perfect laboratory wings and antennae. Your moth has had some fuzzy moth wing powdery stuff knocked off him, and maybe his eyebrows too. His wings look as if he's had a rough time.
Maybe though you have a moth that's never been discovered before! The Kentucky BlueBeardMoth. |

Yeah, you're right, I thought those were part of the flower.

Most specialest thanks to Rhianne for her link.
My mystery bug has been identified as a sachem skipper (atalopedes campestris), a type of butterfly. It is the first skipper featured in this video. It's not only identical to the dozens I saw the other day, it's even on the same kind of flower! Thanks to everyone for the help! You people rock.

I don't know. But it's got hair or fur, or maybe silk (but I doubt it) held together with some sort of yucky dried goop.
Reminds me of a hairball yacked up by a cat, or a trichobezoar cut out of someone's stomach. It also looks a bit like a moth's cocoon. Or a close up of a low quality beaver felt hat. Nothing Abraham Lincoln would wear. That's my line of thought, but I don't know. |

Piece of recently disinterred deer hide, possibly chewed and vomited by doggie.
