Looks good. A bit like the Snowshoe Caddis patterns that are out there. I have to say, I have never fished or tied a pattern to imitate a moth.
I use a dubbing loop 90% of the time for my own flies.

Re: Snowshoe Hare Feet Spruce Moth
I want a whole row of these in my fly box! Definitely a "fishy" pattern.
I can't wait to hear how this works for you John. It looks like it will fish very well.
I'd be tempted to add a soft hackle collar before adding the wing. A hungarian partridge hackle collar might add just a bit of movement to the fly and imitate legs kicking in the surface film.

Safe travels John.
Time to put all those flies to good use.

I drove across the country 2x in 2016. From Oregon to Florida.
