Flying insect

21 years ago

They didn't have the long antennae, and they had kind of chubby, yellow bodies with flimsy looking white wings and then that rather prominent head. They were flying at night but were caught in spider webs in the morning. These are in Indiana.

Any ideas? I've checked owlfly and and antlions but it isn't one of those.
